For people born in 2000-2008.

I feel like there has really been a hidden apocalypse in the modern consumer era, exploitation era, the era that no longer cares about humanity or it’s mental health.

From food to entertainment to supposed freedom to so called advancement of the society, we’ve only seen a steady and constant decline in the psychological and mental state of the society as a whole.

I can’t help but notice how different were the things in 2007 or even 2015. The modernity and it’s bells and whistles has really been hazardous.

        Camus really did break the code for later philosophers and overthinkers…

        Tho it didn’t need to go for existentialism or absurdism here.

          Thank you, you’re right. I just heard the opening line, “It begins with nihilism”, and my memory isn’t winning any awards.
