Same here, but I also got disillusioned with the online communities and fantasy/scifi literature. I feel like there's a lot of focus on "hard" worldbuilding which is to say magic systems, tectonic plates, and deterministic (and somewhat racist) theories.

But not enough of the social aspect like language and culture which linguistics/conlanging and anthropology covers. Dialectical materialism then ties them together, the physical and the social. It's the final stage of worldbuilding quality you could say

But a lot of worldbuilders hate on the above because it's too much work apparently. Though I find that weird when they are still willing to draw detailed maps and calculate tectonic plates movement idk.

I remember watching Brandon Sanderson's lectures on writing when he said to ignore language. I vividly remember my disillusionment starting then.

Someone who ignores details of the real world to create a fictional world but still calls it as detailed as the real world is very suspicious to me.
