There doesn't seem to be anything new and exciting going on these days.
No fads taking everyone by storm. No new technology everyone is discussing (AI is pretty meh at the moment, especially with the censorship). No new entertainment everyone has to see.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't feel I am. Anyone else kinda feel this way?
"Too big to fail" actually means "too big to survive," they just haven't figured it out yet. The problem was that children's development was being hamstrung by excessive, nonsensical demands, but those in power just blamed degeneracy and looked the other way.
The thing is, it doesn't even matter at all what they did. They can all go die in the forest somewhere and you're still going to have to take action to direct your own life. If you just sit around waiting for a better master to tell you what to do and how to live, there are LOTS of people who would LOVE to take the job.
