Interesting point there - I kind of wonder how that fits into general nihilism and broader just not really giving a shit.
Because I can say from anecdotal experience that after I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and subsequently got some money saved up, I essentially went on a partying bender for a few months…
Not so much drugs (never really been a fan, either) outside of tobacco products, but heavy drinking, gambling, partying all night, lots of casual sex, etc. And obviously the financial cost that came with that (which I am still paying off!)…
Because I just… Didn’t give a shit, for a while there. Nothing “long term” felt like it really mattered.
Not quite the same, obviously, but I wonder how it fits into the slippery slope thing that you speak of.
My liver (and credit score) thanks me that benders like that were only temporary adventures, at the very least…
It's a HUGE factor, they want you uncaring, nihilistic only gaining 'feeling' from primitive base urges as you're easier to control then. Just look at these degenerates voting patterns..
I was fortunate for having a REALLY strong figure in my grandfather and completely healthy barring eyes and even that's extremely minor. They want to get your hooks on you when you're at your lowest, drag you down the slopes of excess into a hole you can't climb out of. You got LUCKY in going 'wtf am I doing?' and stopped your decent to climb out.
Neitzche warned about absence of religion making this kinda shit easier to do and the past century has shown this.
