Yet nitrogen has toxified the air more so than any other human endeavor. Oxygen in ambient air is at best 50% of what it was before humanity was spared starvation by adding manufactured nitrogen to soil. We are all suffering from oxygen deprivation on the full cellular level (among other problems resulting from nitrogen production). Postulate how many diseases run rampant with low oxygen, whilst the human organism suffers. With the explosion of certain diseases linked to either low oxygen or NOT ENOUGH oxygen, certainly this is a matter of great concern. We need bright minds (young, old, in between) to find solutions. But where to find those with these minds who are willing to problem solve harmoniously with other bright minds? Hmmm 🤔

same age, and i actually use the same quote, often … “ by the pricking of my thumbs…” weirdly been expecting it for most of my life

I’m 53, and yes, I absolutely feel like everything has changed. I’m always saying that the world today is a different place, things are different now than when I was growing up, and even since just the last decade, and the world today is not a nice place. I love the internet, but it’s also evil. We have no privacy anymore and anyone could hack anything. I am just waiting to see what is going to happen, because I feel like we are in the beginning of a major turning point in the world, but I just don’t know what, exactly, is around the corner, and it’s scary.

You put in to words what I’ve been feeling the past 2 years! I just couldn’t explain it. This comment made me feel less alone and crazy. Thank you!

it might be age that you are afraid of, I work in a senior care home and i noticed this with the residents. kinda like time is coming to an end. Some embrace it and others don’t.

It’s so comforting to know I’m not alone

The Matrix

Yep, exactly this - good summary. Life has felt very samey since Covid and it's been hard to enjoy every day.

The last decanate of Pluto in Capricorn entered in early 2019, if u noticed a subtle but important swift of this world we live in since 2008, that became stronger in 2012 with the Pisces Neptune craziness, all those things hasn't ended AT ALL, but certainly starting to show its tipping points, or decanates, the Capricorn thingy that started in 2008 with all this workaholic, cold, job office obsession we've been living for the past decade, literally reached its pinnacle in early 2019, with a less workaholic attitude but more servicing and smart, that the pandemic made bigger in 2020, we've been transferred to a virtual world, autonomous jobs, cars and home office were things that already existed since 2015 but the pandemic made them a reality, time is going faster because of this, then the last decanate of Neptune in pisces arrived in 2021, last 2 years, it added to the craziness, kinda cyberpunk vibes, everyone got really intense and surreal but happier, I started taking hormones finally, around 2021, i couldn't just take it anymore, and not only me but everyone else has been different since spring 2021, a lot of bisexuality, cynicism, etc, but in a cool way, I haven't been so close to straight men since 2021, and overall the whole world is riding this "new thing", which will only increase EXPONENTIALLY as pluto dwells into Aquarius this summer, things will get kinda scary, even for me!!!! the eccentricity and craziness of Aquarius is stronger than Capricorn, because Aquarius is unexplainable, weird, etc, the only ones who will just Swim through the next years will be Gen Z and Gen Alpha, people born after 1996, they will just adapt brand new, and oh my god, will they scare us, sum that to tech reaching its tipping point also in Aquarius, expect Alexa to grow legs and clean the house, autonomous factories, cities, etc, everyone exposed more than ever cause no one will have the right to privacy, thats too expensive and high maintenance for a robot based world that a.i won't really find practical for a decent human treat, not just for robots but for actual humans, 2023 and 2024 will seem like that but the real thing happens in 2025 as pluto finally leaves Capricorn and also Neptune leaves Pisces in favor of a world thats already built for this, just in its awaiting, Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries, a whole new set, think of it as the animatronics of 5 nights at Freddys, just waiting to "revive" and finally have a work thing to do!

What you're saying resonates with me.

You are not wrong...yet we all have the power to reduce screen time and watch the birds fly through the trees. It is refreshing.

But most ppl are already drawn towards social media and other technologies that harms our brain without even noticing it.

Eh, my family made me feel that way by 1996; so im pretty used to it now.

@@OutHereOnTheFlatsWe do, but humans also have a drive to be where the action is - and the "action" of today (for many people, not all) is the having/judging of opinions in the consequence-less vacuum of the internet. There are real/meaningful ideas being discussed and developed, but for many of us that practical application is missing where the rare good that comes from online discourse just stays there because we are lacking real-life communities in which to put them into practice. We can stop looking at social media, but we can't escape its influence on our culture, economy, and relationships without serious concerted effort or the courage to do something wildly different with your life than most people. It hurts us whether we engage with it or not, and disengaging with it means sacrificing your participation in the big-c Conversation that nobody actually enjoys but everybody's talking about and everybody wants to get in on. I think it's a sacrifice worth making, but the scar it inflicted will be there forever. I've deleted most of my socials and am trying to connect with people who want something different, FOMO and familiar comforts be damned. Watching birds and feeling alive on your own is one thing, but being a social animal trying to untangle oneself from the most powerful communication tool in the known universe is another.

I agree , I prefer face to face and breaking bread with others if possible

In countries that are developing it’s quite different. People still talk a lot face to face there. Sure there are modern changes but the atmosphere whenever I visit those countries is like being sent back in the 90s and early 2000s. People are just that social. Whenever I go back to the US, communication with others is more distant and polite rather than having real substance and with genuine interest.. I feel that what you guys are feeling are common in developed countries. It’s all going too fast, we need to take it slow and try being more social and understanding again

Is just that you all noticed it changed with covid because it affected everyone, but it goes back, in my personal case i started to feel the world is changing since arab spring, and maybe other people before.

I swear there was some big change in 2012, and another every 4 years since then. And not for the better

Can confirm. And it really got bad around covid, and hasn't recovered.

Good news. Kinda?? Your brain doesnt fully mature until age 25 so dont worry if you dont feel like youre being an adult yet

Yup

I'm honestly jealous I came in hot in 1997. I wish I was alive in 1990 at least to get the full experience of the 90s 😔

I’m the same, born in 1970 and I appreciate your perspective but I actually think the current generation are remarkable precisely because of the knowledge revolution that technology has ushered in, in many aspects there’s a pronounced decrease in ignorance compared with my generation.

@@damien4061 Decreased ignorance but decreased self awareness?

@@bscott9141 Some people didn't have a good time in the 90s so lets take off the rose colored glasses of nostalgia. But yes things were different. People were poorer, bored and ignorant. So bored you would gladly walk down the street hoping someone was outside so we could alleviate the drudgery. Loneliness was amplified because we couldn't jump online and instantly have 2 billion stranglers to interact with. But there was something nice about there being no digital world.

How tragic is it that the successor generations can only vicariously have a frame of reference for 90s life!!!

What's coming will be very difficult for those who have children, especially small ones. I began to warn quite a few years ago that now is not the time for building families and living life as usual. That message mostly didn't go over too well, but perhaps the word will reach one or two who are still on the fence.

Boom and we are the chosen ones this is why we are all here in the comments . 13:17 . We need to establish our groups on social media and make it a safe place for us . If you’re here you’re not here for nothing you came across this video because you’re seeking answers we are all one

Some of us possess and respect these things but yes many do not. Common decency is lacking. I think the internet, hyper capitalism, smart phones, social media, 24/7 news cycle and up coming election coming is tapping us all out. Giving us a feeling of not really wanting to die but if we did it would be ok. Sounds weird but true for me at least. There is also this collective feeling that things are bubbling to the surface.

I feel more panicked because It validates my concerns

iPhones have helped to expose the deep divide between the haves and have nots. That has contributed to the depression and other mental health issues.

Yep.

As far as electronics goes in being complicit in all this...there was/is always the 'off' button but who ever uses it? Since the word 'no' has been demonized and made taboo in todays society, we get what we have now.

I truly feel bad for GenZ and GenA. You guys are growing up in a very, very corrupt world that is more divided than I have ever seen in my life (33yo). In the 90s, adults were very concerned about 'the children' and what we saw/heard/felt. It feels like that is completely gone - no one cares about the children and they are growing up in a world that most adults are blind to. Similar to any generation of young people, but never with social media. It's scary to see how little families are raising and teaching children ethics and life skills - I'm a teacher and the lack of accountability at-home is pushing me out of the profession. I wish GenZ and GenA the best of luck with finding happiness, a loyal spouse, financial security, and peace in a time of horrific strife. There is something sinister about following the crowd nowdays - think for yourself and do what makes YOU happy.

Absolutely! I am gen X., and game of age during grunge and rage against the machine. Where people were still putting up a fight against the corruption and evil in the world, At the very least naming it and talking about it. I have a daughter now and it's 1 of my primary objectives is spending time with her talking to her Helping her to see and understand the world and all it's complexity. Especially the way that somebody people are just sleep walking through life command that you don't have to do that. We all have a choice but it makes a big difference but our parents do Or don't do! Thanks for being a teacher and giving back come on what a wonderful Career choice but imagine incredibly frustrating in a lot of ways to.

The world has always been like this. Actually it was way worse in the past. Hell, Women didn't even have equal rights until as early as 60 years ago and segregation was in place lol. The world is the best now than it ever has been. Yet people chirp your same sentiment every.single.year. people were saying the same thing in the 80's, 90's, 2000's. I'm tired of hearing this nonsense

Honestly, people are more compassionate now than when I was growing up in the late 80's- early 90's. The past is romanticized. It was a fun time, lots of freedom yes. But there was just as much poverty. Pettiness and cruelty were very prevalent in schools, most bullying was physical violence and the victim was told to stop being a wuss and fight back. Don't get me wrong, I miss those times when gas was 25cents and $10 was a LOT of money, we could go anywhere as long as we were home by dark. But no time is perfect.

No way guys. Nobody gives a f@ck about anybody anymore

@@leolapennington264 Honey, thats fake compassion. People give as much care as long as you dont say something that angers them. Always was and always will be. Also pettiness and cruelty is still prevalent in schools, including bullying and physical violence, even worse now since younger generations have far more freedom to misbehave towards teachers and other kids than before because leeway laws protect them from punishment.

Absolutely.. it is hijacked people's brains, souls, lives.

Yep. So much, that I'm sure historians will divide times as pre internet and post internet (even though to most, especially growing up, it just seemed/ felt like inevitable progress) Many complex ways to describe it, but take dating for instance. Before internet, it was acceptable to hit on/ flirt with people in person, commonly met someone you could settle down with at a party or other function. Now there's online dating- which in theory Seems would solve many issues of people being misunderstood, but actually it makes things worse. Women use it to find their ideal partner (top 5- 20% of guys with traits or qualities they most desire), Not any ol average guy (not always/ there can be exceptions, but in general). I'm not saying traditional American dream is the only or even ideal way to he fulfilled or happy in life, just that in the long run the internet made life infinitely more complex, dumbed down on average, and isolated actually. Too much convenience and distractions. Being bored has benefits

Yes and the Pandora's box within the Pandora's box is the iphone. Destroyed communication. No one talks to anyone in the supermarket or in the coffee shop. Very sad.

Without a doubt. I'm 28 and I've felt for years that we took something that held great potential and misused it. Now we're seeing the consequences of that through an endless news cycle and information overload which our brains are suffocating from, interpersonal and self-esteem issues, bullying and this expectation to prove our worth. It has been a great tool in raising awareness for various movements and inequalities, as well as assisting us with education. But it just feels like we are so detached from who we once were as a society, the sense of community as deteriorated.

You are just growing up, Cole. I wouldn't put too much stock into year-to-year comparisons before age 33, because you yourself will change so much that it will obscure the way the world changes. This is why there are almost zero writers below the age of 33 who write anything profound, and few even who are younger than 40. You can't see the reality yet.

"I'm 26. [describes being 26]"

It's a quarter life crisis. In your 30s - things will settle and be more meaningful, if you make the right choices.

This is intentional. The media wants you to feel this. Find people that are not nuts. Stick together.

I have one recommendation. Delete all social media, use your phone for only what it is. Actually do it, nobody really follows through. Technology has such a deep bite into society.

I share the same feelings of loss, you said it beautifully, and I've been struggling to make sense of it, It's helpful to know that others are feeling it too

I was born in '92 and similar to you i also didnt get my first cell phone until late high school. Growing up i climbed trees and road bikes and played kickball with the kids in the neighborhood. I didnt start using the internet religiously until around high school too. Glad i was able to experience things like that during that era before there was this drastic shift

I’ll drive around the places I grew up and remember being outside all the time. Now it’s like people don’t even exist because you never see them.

Seriously? Give me a break. “Woe is me the world sucks now because of the internet” What you remember is a different feeling than what you experienced. In 10 years from now you will be complaint how bad the world is and how much better it was 10 years ago when the fact is you were just younger and more vibrant 10 years ago and could enjoy that feeling more thoroughly, and now those feelings are harder to find because your hire ones aren’t racing anymore.

my mom thought the same thing when she was young, and so did my grandma. it's nothing new. everyone thinks their generation is the beginning and end of all things.

What your feeling is the realization of your own mortality.

When I lived at my parents house the backyard had a crick and woods on the other side. When we first moved there the trees were all green and taken care of. Since we moved the trees in the woods have mostly died off and became overgrown. About a year before covid happened I would look at the woods and started getting this overwhelming feeling that something was coming, just didn't know what it was. Then when covid hit, everything changed and I realized that was what I felt coming. Since then I always feel uneasy and as I learn more about the stuff going on today.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve noticed this and become even more welcoming and helpful to my surrounding elders than I already was.

My other observation was how at a family gathering my older relatives in their 50's+ sit around and talk while off to the side all of our 18 and unders sit in a group all on their phones. I made the remark to someone how are these gatherings going to look in 20-30 years when they all are in charge? Will there even be gatherings anymore?

It’s not that hard to understand… many have been warning you about the new world order for many many years. But many people still don’t try to understand what that means or how we got here. People are afraid to hear the truth.

That's how I feel for almost a decade now. Like everything is so insignificant and trying t achieve something is a waste of time, since nothing will last. Really like something will happen "soon" that will make every effort put into anything before that event a waste of time and energy.

In my opinion, the next big shift is 100% going to be AI. Not the thinking conscious awareness type of AI, but AI that can do whatever you ask of it for you. Just look at these last few years where chatGPT and openAI and all these Ai that you can tell to create an image, artwork, novel, speech, anything, based on whatever specifications you want in the format you want, based on a specific genre or artist, and in 5 seconds it'll create something that never existed before that matches everything you've asked. It is in it's absolute infancy stage as of now, but even at this point it is extremely advanced and I believe people don't understand the implications of this new technology and how it will completely change everything for humanity and not in a good way. Sure, you can make the argument that having AI do tedious work for us is a big plus. Removing physically demanding or dangerous labor from our soft limbs and putting them into the hands of hard metallic machines who will do all of it with insane precision and speed is a plus, as it is for the worker who loses their job to it because maybe they won't get cancer from inhaling toxic chemicals or fumes for years or mess up their back for the rest of their lives or get some other life changing injury. At the end of the day, that is better for the human being. But what about every job becoming an AI only function? Do you think the company you work for(unless you own it yourself) wouldn't drop you and their entire work staff from top to bottom for just one or two AI that could do it all without sleeping or breaks or eating or any rest, just 24/7 perfect work with no vacation time or sick days being done faster than humanly possible? No need for coffee break rooms, renting buildings or facilities or buying paper towels and toilet paper, desks, computers, printers, etc. They'd save billions of dollars every year. But now we arrive at our next problem, what will people do with all this free time? How will we make money? Will money even exist anymore? The company that is researching and creating physical robot AI systems is also heavily invested into research of a universal basic income system or UBI. They know what our future will be and they're trying to come up with a way for people to not be absolutely bored and miserable because they suddenly have no purpose in life. They don't need to work, they don't need to find a way to feed their families or pay rent, they don't need to learn any skills whatsoever because AI will do everything for us. No more driving, no more taking out the garbage, no more cooking your own food or shopping. It all sounds great until you realize that you will literally have no purpose or meaning in your life. Have you ever been unable to find a job for longer than a week or been on an extended vacation? The first few days are fun and you think about all the fun you'll have while not being required to work everyday(at least for a lil while) and next thing you know, you're absolutely bored out of your mind, you look for any source of time wasting entertainment to keep you occupied to pass the days. This is why many retired people still continue to work, or why billionaires with enough money to buy another life for them and their families for generations still continue running their companies and making money. It isn't about money. We as human beings, need work to feel meaning in our lives, to have purpose and whether you love your job or hate it, like it or not, it gives you purpose and fulfillment. Human beings need struggles to overcome, we need challenge, we need to overcome challenges and obstacles to feel like our lives have meaning. It's like playing a video game with all the cheat codes enabled the second you start, it's great for the first 30 minutes or so, but after that you immediately get bored and quit the game and move on. It's nice to have it all, but that isn't what gives our lives meaning. It's overcoming challenges, big or small, usually both. Human beings evolved to constantly be overcoming struggles, hunting for food or starve, then we got agriculture and we created jobs to fill that void, now what'll happen when we no longer need to worry about food nor overcoming any challenges because AI will do it all for us? Imagine every single person on earth suddenly doesn't have to work everyday. It'll be a big fun party for a week maximum. It's like that rat utopia study, the rats were given a rat utopia to live in and they all died. They had no challenges, they had no desires. It was all over and they even stopped reproducing. Which brings us to another problem, what happens when AI dolls are completely fitted to be your perfect soulmate? I'm sure there will be some purists left after that living in some communes without AI at all, but just think about what humanity will look like once all this happens. That is the next phase of humanity. We will either merge with AI from neuralink, or we will merge with the internet and become a virtual society, like what Meta is trying to do. There simply won't be much else for humanity to do once we literally won't have anything to do. Do you remember when we were all stuck at home? Some worked sure but if you were one of the people who didn't I'm sure you can attest to exactly how that went down for you. If I had to guess, once AI is running our lives for us, we will all move into a matrix like virtual world. Some may create their own world exactly how they want it, others will just jump into the new virtual world that's a copy of exactly how it used to be before AI. Our bodies will be tube fed and AI will massage our muscles so they don't atrophy and clean us and help us use the bathroom while we all live in our virtual worlds because that will be the only way humans can have some type of fulfillment in their lives post AI. It absolutely terrifies me but I am sure this is a feeling we all have been having for a while now. As AI technology expands and innovates, we will slowly merge into this new reality and there is nothing we can do about it but wait and see what our future holds. Hell, maybe that is exactly what our current reality is and we just don't know it. Maybe this is the end of the line for every society, technological advancement until eventual withdrawal into a virtual world. I hope I am 100% wrong but it sure doesn't seem that way with what's been happening these last few years. Time will tell but I hope humanity will keep it's humanity.

Everything you do is insignificant, but where you stand means everything. Its a matter of the heart...

@Marco Ramires Its already like that. I'm in my early 30s and I talk to some old friends we've all moved and life took us in different directions but we cant seem to find any meaningful connections or any meaning at all really in life like we used to have. I have some early teenage family and they are so hollow and soulless, not that they're bad people but the difference from my generation to theirs is astonishing.

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

Yes, dr.poras. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Is he on instagram?

Yes he is dr.poras.

Amazing. We are going to rent our house out and live on a small sailboat and be barefoot all day in the sun. Van life was amazing, on to the next adventure.

@@gingersnap7202 I know this probably wasn't meant to be a joke, but this comment genuinely made me laugh out loud.

So then, as they say, you will have nothing and be happy.

True enough; nature is our only reality. We are not wired to cope with AI, social media and big tech. They are the source of the modern day plague. They do what alcohol did to Native Americans; they act as solvents that dissolve a civilization.

Hi Chris. Your comment particularly resonated with me. Yes..someone else here, too..

I agree with you 100 percent. I think it’s a mixture of post covid stress and endless technology. The further we remove ourselves from nature, the further we are from peace.

You couldn’t have said it better. Sending 💕

I think its a lot to do with overstimulation ruining dopamine system - in junk food, social media, all this instant gratification etc. When i go a week without my phone, getting quality sleep, eating clean, going outside more, and maybe meditate and being healthy: i feel myself again and my mind is not clouded. My ideas flow better and I am more creative and interested in life again.

Nailed it.

Good for you - you have seen the light! Best wishes to you!

Several years ago I took a trip to Nicaragua and just decided - no phone or computer. It was bliss the whole time. I think what you're saying is true.

So true I think phones will cause the end for humans

~I’ve noticed feeling not only better, happier w/o the web -but what I really got was that I wasn’t Angry. All of the darkness was gone.

I'm probably going to start a flame war for being "that guy" but this needs to be said. My experience with technology is different. I create things. I'm constantly writing down story ideas and making charts. I compose music of many different genres. My computer is very similar to a library -- a library of my own ideas that are precious to me, which is why, back in 2021 when my hard drive died and I almost lost all of my data for good, I was devastated (I wasn't very tech savvy and didn't know how to back up files at the time). But I wasn't devastated due to some obsession with the technology itself or addiction to "cat videos" ffs. I was devastated because my art was gone, ongoing projects I'd been working on for years. The sheer volume of it cannot be recreated from my memory (my memory is pretty terrible in general, which is part of why I write things down in the first place). In the early 20th Century, it all would have been written down on pieces of paper (some of mine are). If J.R.R. Tolkien's house burned down with all of his writings inside it, we would consider that a tragedy because all of that work is gone. Yet when someone loses the same thing digitally, what that's a triumph simply because it's digital? No, it's the same thing. The technology is just the medium. My primary concern about technology is dependence -- being too reliant on something I don't fully understand only for it to malfunction and for me to be lost. That's why as I advance in life I want to become more independent. I want my own micro power grid. I want my own private internet server. I want to decrease the amount of steps between fresh grown food and myself as much as possible. I want to learn how to do things. The more I know and the more I can do, the less I'll suffer when things break. My secondary concern is physical safety. Too much exposure to EMF radiation can harm the brain and body, leading to things like insomnia. But to say technology is evil for that alone is pretty biased, since it's also harmful for your body to drink unfiltered water with cholera in it, something technology helped stop. I'm sick and tired of people blaming technology for everything that's wrong with the world. 9 times out of 10 whenever someone complains about technology, it's usually something else that's the problem. The most stressful things I encounter in my technology heavy life come from tension-filled social situations, mainly the news and media discourse. But this is because the discourse itself is so disheartening and stressful. It would be just as disheartening if it was people gossiping in a town square in 1807. It's not the technology. It's people. I think the only reason losing your phone makes you feel "free" is because you lose a psychological obligation. Let me explain. Because so much happens every day, and because I have access to learning about it, I feel almost compelled to check the news or check the latest KZfaq video criticizing a movie. Why? Maybe I'm afraid I'll miss something. Maybe I can't feel relieved until I know there's no immediate bad news waiting for me that day. Thus, because I'm able to learn about these things, I feel obligated to update myself, and failing to meet this obligation is stressful because it feels like falling behind. Thus, when the ability is taken away, sure, it can be liberating since the responsibility is no longer yours, in your mind. But this would all still be the case with NEWSPAPERS 30 years ago! If I was around back then, I would have had a similar mindset. People will always check things that are constantly updated. People feel compelled to check the weather because it might be dangerous. People are compelled to check the stock market because there might be a one in a million opportunity they don't want to miss. All of these things might use technology, but the technology itself is not the object of the obsession or the stress. It is merely a medium, and the most recent medium at that. If Twitter existed in Ancient Greece, Socrates would have used it to preach philosophy. Our world is not that different from how it ever was, and if anything, the Turnings should prove that, rather than disprove it. I'm all for spending a healthy amount of time outside or taking a healthy vacation from the pressures of work and life (which extend far beyond technology) but to oversimplify it as "phones are bad and they should stop existing" is very dangerous, because sometimes there is news you need to know, new laws and mandates that will wind you up in jail if you don't follow them, natural disasters that can devastate you if you're not prepared. Taking a break is fine as long as you're not sticking your head in the sand.

I only use social media to look at hobbies, and it really changed things up for me. Algorithms actually promoted healthier content, and I never felt sucked in or I cannot put it down.

It’s not social media. It’s people who have just gotten stupider. People who think they don’t have to be accountable for anything. It’s a sense of arrogance and entitlement that has arisen, some say it’s the new generation, gen Z or the 2000s babies, but it’s more the generation before that has raised this generation to be so entitled and to not have to be accountable. It’s that attitude of “do whatever you want to get what you want” attitude, people think it’s a good attitude to have, to be so determined, to be so “driven”, but it’s not, it’s created an immense lack of accountable and responsibility and literally gave the new generation the approval to do whatever they want and this degradation of society we are seeing is the direct result.

Not so much. They're heavily targeted by the algorithms because while they might appear as a younger generation, they don't understand how to maintain and control the amount of information that the apps tried to impose to them.

@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 You blame the past Generation for the outcome of this current Generation, and their issues/problems, when it's actually society, the Government, the school systems, and anyone in control/in charge, that has created the problem/issue with the current Generation. If what you said were true, then there would not be parents showing up at school board meetings, protesting what is being taught to their children, and the constant brain washing and indoctrination that is occurring there. Everyone wants to blame the past Generation for everything, when it all happens within the Government and school systems, and then rolls down to the children. It is those wackos that are letting other sick minded people throw drag shows in schools... So no, parents are not passing on ignorant mess from the last Generation, it is the confused people in charge currently that is passing on, and letting garbage, be passed on...most of the time, without the authorization from/by their own parents.

@@mikevogler5455 an emphatic YES. Through the previous generation's, ie baby boomers for instance, and people born in 70s and early 80s, their mishandling of things, not taking care of environment for instance, not making good judgement calls, etc. Look at how the generation before those born in the late 80s and 90s and early 2000s, have been running things in government, who they've voted into positions of power, even how they reacted to COVID mandates and the entitlement and lack of accountability they've been instilling in their kids about the pandemic, promoting antivax nonsense, promoting antimask BS, look at how these Republicans born in the 50s 60s and 70s are behaving right now. Laws that go against gay rights, women's rights, etc, all the progress we've made is being slowly reversed. And all of this reflects not taking accountability, having an attitude of entitlement, not caring about other people, not taking responsibility, etc, stemming from how Trump ran America. His presidency and the boomers and the generation that voted for him and support him, and participate in riots and storming the Capitol, etc, people like that are causing this degradation of society and why so many are feeling this sense of doom on the horizon. And there's that do whatever you want to get what you want attitude promoted toward young people by older generations, so many of these factors have screwed up society for this generation and this generations' kids.

Oh my god this is so true. Family reunions were, by far, more common in the past. My parents would hang out with their relatives every single week, sometimes every other day, just for the sake of spending time at home eating, playing cards, talking... Now I see my relatives only once in a while, and those who aren't dead already... Also, in the 90s I'd play outside almost every day. My neighbourhood was full of kids in summer nights. My parents would stay inside or go for a walk, and we would be supervised by the elder siblings of my friends (who were only... 13, 14 perhaps??), they'd only get to us to call us back for dinner bed. Now, not a single kid at night in years, just deserted streets. I don't really see kids playing at night anywhere.

Yeah, and then during your time, some people came around who decided to put an economic system in place which prevented people from climbing the corporate ladder, and increased the wealth gap, leading to a bigger disparity of the working class and wealthy class. During this time, over half of the world’s natural resources got used up, and without being replaced. House prices have skyrocketed. College tuition has skyrocketed. While the minimum wage has doubled, the cost to live has quintupled. Your generation experienced, for the most part, an amazing and privileged lifestyle, but that came at the cost of the resources of future generations to come. Turns out, a pleasing existence comes at a long-term cost. I have nothing against you or anyone from your generation, but the world is becoming sparse because of what happened.

It's caused by overwhelming bad debt

“I wish it need not happen in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

There is no binding culture, ritual, or tradition in the epicenter of technocratic environments. You get “subcultures”, but they are not putting their masts in the same wind direction so to speak, what drove technocratic times say 10-15 years ago was lower general adoption with a mix of morally friendly novelties and in general, being augmentative and hobby like. Now it’s symbiotic or parasitic. The Jungian shadow of what technology is now is not even subversive, but overtly collected data, pumping in machine learning for AI repositories… And here forms a divergence, those that rather live with nature, wood stoves, livestock and some return to an actual culture and those who want to be waist deep into increasing digital novelty and VR and Amazon ordered funko-pops while streaming Phase 5 Marvel movies-a life akin to Demotion Man. Needless to say, you can’t force these extremes back together.

Yeah, no one is really teaching these things, it's expected for many to figure out on their own, and with this increase grab for attention these distractions has sunk so many people into low places, also making it much harder than before to get out. Interactions with others have become more transactional and without meaning in a world that's already isolated

It really is just the anxiety of constantly being connected.

My friend that is the result of the alienation we have due to capitalism read Marx’s theory of alienation

@@owengaul3226. The result of the alienation we have today is due to Karl Marx, not capitalism. Capitalism in its intended form is a tremendous system. However, crony capitalism has taken over, the system has been perverted to send all the money to the top, and the funds needed to sustain the apparatus of the system are not carried by the rich, but by the working class. What you see in America today is not capitalism. It is unbridled greed by the top one percent that control legislators, bureaucrats, and the economy in general. We have met the enemy, and he could be ours. But instead we turn our anger and frustration with the system against each other. We drink the Kool Aid of division, blame those who are not to blame, and become tribal, instead of practicing unity against a common enemy. The 99 percent all suffer the same folly every single day, as a DIRECT result of the mutation of capitalism through money in politics, rampant corruption in government (on BOTH” sides of the aisle, and our failure to bring victory through the only means possible. UNITY, against the true enemy.

Try to revisit the great outdoors. Get your hands dirty. Do something physical, like build something. Grow and pick your own food. These are the things that we no longer understand. We cannot live in a virtual world.

@@robertclark9 The "crony capitalism" you're seeing is the inevitable result of market competition. Pure deregulation only works in Ayn Rand books. In real life, unrestrained competition causes a selection process, and the game ends up looking like a Monopoly board; there is no other possible outcome at extremis, and this has nothing to do with Marx. We ARE tribal, kid; it's in our nature, our evolutionary history. "UNITY against the true enemy" sounds precisely like "the Kool Aid of division" to me. Further, so does the false dichotomy you're creating between individualism and collectivism. Functionally, these two ideas are more like relative comparisons than actual systems. Think of them as being like up and down. They're theoretical ideals. No well-informed, rational person will endorse one of them to the other's exclusion. One more thing. We're only alienated insofar as we allow. Nobody is stopping us from: doing work that we find satisfying, contributing to ideals that we find worthy, engaging with interesting people, or from pursuing love and meaningful relationships. Estrangement is also a misleading comparison, now being promoted by all the imaginary images we see on social media. Lower expectations → increased happiness.

@@yugecrazystick. Socialism doesn’t have to be done by the state, but it does have to be distributed by the state.

That’s appeasement directed at self preservation, and the ability to continue gathering wealth.

Whenever I let myself start to do them, I would feel empty, no excitement, just feel lost in motivation and feeling. I don't feel mindful in everything I do, completely uneasy feeling and just different. I told my friends if they felt this or no, but I didn't find the same answer relating to what I've been feeling after pandemic. Sickening yes, but completely wondering with the fact I always feel time is going so fast and I lost sense basically in every aspect of my life

I'm 21 and I shake off the feeling that we won't make it to 30

Use it as encouragement understand you’re the only person who can change u

Burnout?

I am becoming addicted to podcasts that seek to expose the torment we are being subjected to and I have become very intolerant towards anyone who does not hold the same views as I do.

I used to feel that way too. I was very liberal for awhile and then incredibly right-winged, like I literally listened to Matt Walsh and Candace Owens all the time. After spending times in both perspectives, like man in those days like I just had so much anger and like hate towards other people, literal hate. I was mad everyday but like I came out of it and found that most people who I’ve met actually felt kind of in the middle too. It’s hard tho online with all the really extreme perspectives, people having no fear on here. But honestly I can’t tell you how freeing it can be to get out of it. I KNOW you can do it but not on ur own. For real, I honestly wouldn’t have thought to or been able to come out of my politics addiction had it not been for God. Like finally realizing he was actually there and actually cared when it felt like no one else did. internet addiction and isolation can leave a person (like me)with few contacts. But there is a warmth and a non-judgmental God who seriously wants to help you. I swear, he DOES LOVE YOU. He really does. And honestly when I actually gave him a chance, like it changed my life. I questioned Him, and I was willing to leave if this Christian thing wasn’t the truth. But honestly he answered my questions and didn’t hate me or get angered by them. He wants your questions, it’s ok to doubt. Like seriously. But man just if u haven’t given Him, or God like a real chance ever, maybe you should consider it? I could help you if you want any resources or prayers 😊. Look I know this world can feel really dark and it is a lot, not gonna lie. But he really is a hope in this world. He showed me that humanity still had some good in them or else why would he be trying to reach out to us and show us his love. He really can free you from all this anger or hate you may feel. He did for me, I know he can for you too. I just hope maybe you’ll give it some thought, just a little. I love you brother or fellow human. I wish you the best, I really hope things in your life get better. If you ever want me to pray for u or if you’d be okay with me doing that, Please let me know? I would be more than happy too. Take care -Molly J.

@misskarinaleigh I'm sorry, I know it's easy to feel hopeless and like this world sucks. It is so difficult sometimes. Like I have days where it has been honestly, not gonna lie, pretty hard. Especially during pandemic. Like being super on my phone meant I really didn't have many friends or a lot of support and things got bad. I really felt like just consumed with fear and was just numb emotionally. But genuinely I found someone who has always like been there and I just never knew it. He genuinely came into my life and showed care for me, like in a way no one in the internet or even in my life could fully do. He understood me and I didnt even have to explain it. I know this world feels really dark and it can be really hard to cope with all the news we see and hear. But if there's anything I was able to learn from being a major internet-addict, it's that even when you feel angry, hurt,sad, isolate, or scared, there is someone always right beside you holding your hand who shares your concerns. He wants to listen to you. Whether you want to rant or cry or even scream, He IS there to listen. He really cares about you miss Karina Leigh. He knows your name and he loves you. Even if the world feels very gloomy and so dark and despairing, please know he wants to be there to shine a light and hope on you. We can only Bering light back to the world if people rediscover the light within them found in the one who gives us hope. This man literally gave everything out of love for humanity. One of the greatest things anyone can do for another is be willing to die for them to save their life. That takes love to do. Jesus died for you willingly just like that, with that love. He really loves you and I'm sensing I don't know how to describe it but I really feel him touching my heart with concern for you, wanting me to reach out to you. Your words stuck out to me. Karina Leigh, he really wants to reach out to you. I can't describe just how much he loves you and wants to show you that love. Have you ever considered God or if he loves you? Because if not I really hope you do consider it. Maybe just think about it even if that's not today. I hope it settles somewhere or that you remember that he will always love you. It's okay to question him, doubt is natural, healthy even. But I hope you know whenever you're ready even to just try, that he's there with open arms ready to receive you. I wish nothing but the best for you girl, With much love, Molly James P.S. Would it be alright if I prayed for you?

Thanks for your work as a vet nurse. My dog, my best friend, just passed away suddenly and I am so appreciative of the nurses who worked to make her final hours comfortable. Your work is so valuable.

Wow you took the words out of my mouth

Same here my good man. 50 years old and this feels nothing like I remember any more

Yeah. It makes us connected. Some people would say "Nothing has changed." or "Every year is the same.", which express indifference and aren't 100% true, and every individual feels different feelings. Understanding is a first step to connection, otherwise, it's an empty and one-sided conversation.

Comforting yet deeply concerning

There is power in a band of working folk when we stand hand in hand. United we bargain, divided we beg. Workers must strike for better conditions. Without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. DONT SCAB FOR THE BOSSES, DONT LISTEN TO THEIR LIES. US POOR FOLK DONT GOT A CHANCE UNLESS WE ORGANIZE!!!!!!

I feel the same way I thought I was going crazy.

Pfft...

​@@user-zt6pg5bz2lTruth can be confronting.

I know the feeling

We are approaching a climax in human consciousness. A climax is both together, a creation and destruction.

Thank you for you great inspirational words.

That said, I sense lately change is coming: people are increasingly disillusioned with social media and the act of barfing our lives up on screen (which never feels as good as we hope). We must be part of changing things, and it is beginning. Social change only takes 20% of the population to effect it. It will come - the question is how quickly and how well will we accept what we are coming back to?

They did say the world would end in 2012

I too feel like I’m in a different dimension. It’s like I woke up one morning and everything was different.

Yep this is me too. I was in a bad car accident in 2013 & ever since NOTHING is the same!! I don't remember anything but waking up in the hospital & my family was there, but somehow different. AND they still are!!

That’s when they first turned on the large hadron collider at CERN.

​@@Sakura-pc9cp They first turned it on in September 2008, which is funny cus the stock market crashed 2 weeks after.

Memory is collective.

And people want to edit the books now and tear down statues of the past because of the horror they portray. We will be the generation to know these horrors once more.

So the whole worlds population died and a new population replaced it in the 21 year span between WW1 and WW2 according to whoever said that?

Welcome to the fourth turning

@@jollygrapefruit786 It doesn’t say the next Great War is impossible if people still remember the last one.

You said it! Very dystopian in my opinion.

Me, too. 56. I cannot help but to think of all the crazy stuff we did back in the day that has thoroughly contributed to the current madness. It was ominous that the book "Nineteen Eighty-Four" was our graduation year. We read it and chuckled how 'off' it was. God have mercy on us, our parents and our children. Dad was right! Everything is accelerating at such a pace. There has been no "real progress", just the same things in a more, harder, faster way. Like the boat in Willy Wonka.

SAME! I just turned 57. Things have gone so backwards even from when I was raising my kids in the 90's! I also believe it is intentional. I saw an interview with Whitney Webb on the Glen Beck podcast. I highly recommend it.

@@dragonfly1430 Thank you, I’ll check it out.

Me too. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I long for the nice times I once had. Before paddling in the sea was safe from vast amounts of sewage. A Sunday dinner without 233,000 microplastic beads in it. And a future to look forward to if only you work hard, what a joke.

had a neighbor who passed on Father's Day Morning this year, she had a story about France, she visited, then, she was given a stipend to stay one week longer than planned. Seems as though war was about to break out in Korea & the government had demanded all the aircraft repurposed to haul troops! She said she didn't mind visiting the Parisian museums & parks another seven days. : ) Rosemarie was 100. & 3/4.

@@timewa851 thank you for sharing!

“It had been so survival”?!

thats amazing, ive always wanted to have a experience like yours. theres so much knowledge for them to pass on and sometimes it never gets passed on. even just simple life advice from them can be very great.

One of my regrets is that I left my nursing home job a few months before Covid became a thing.

the early 2000s was better, less techlology people had better social skills

Bam.

Exactly!

The only way is down.

Let's turn to God! He will direct our way if we put our trust in Him. I know, what a weird sentence. It is so hard to trust in God after seeing everything around us. But this all is happening because almost nobody is putting their trust in God. Nobody is following God's ways of being selfless, humble and true. We have no joy and feel imprisoned and this feeling is growing. In the Bible in the book of revelation (Now nobody should read some sentences of the Bible because it has changed too, we should lean on God Himself alone) It says that in the end times, knowledge will increase all around the world. And indeed, it has increased through the internet. The book of Revelation also says that in the end times, one world order will be established, and it's already started being established through the internet! People are starting to speak only in one language, they're starting to have only one religion because all religions are slowly being integrated into one. The world is becoming under one government only. God said in the Bible that He would send famine around the Earth of hearing the word of God in the end times. The word of God includes the basic commandments. These commandments are: "We should love God with all our heart, soul and mind (because He first loved us, but we don't love God because of how prideful we are. We think that we know our life better than God!), We should love our neighbours as we love ourselves (but nobody ever truly cares about one another, everybody is now focused on themselves and how to 'feel' better), We should not make any idols (yet we lean towards earthly things to make us feel better, such as meditation, religion or music, but in the end we don't feel better inside at all), We should honor our father and mother (but look at the world today, we think that by hearing the advice of our parents wouldn't be good out of pride, and do we appreciate how much they've done for us?), We should not take the name of the Lord in vain (the most popular phrase is omg, and people have no reason to say it. We don't have a reason to say many things, such as to curse, yet we do it anyway because we get accustomed to chaos. And by taking the Lord's name in vain, we decrease the Lord's name's value, and then we take God as a joke), We need to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy (but nobody is at rest on the seventh day of the week, everybody is busy all the time and we overwork ourselves getting tired all the time thinking that we can handle it but our bodies are failing, Christians simply go to churches but their praises to God aren't genuine), We should not kill (but if we even "hate" somebody, we are already committing murder in our hearts because that's what we truly desire when we hate someone, to make him disappear), We should not steal (or even desire something from somebody and just be content with what we have because if we do desire it, we want to steal it in our hearts), We should not bear false testimony against our neighbour (but we are already putting up a false image and show it to everybody! We are already showing ourselves as we are "the best" and that's a fake version, yet we're still unhappy), We should not commit adultery (but we look unto others very sexually and this is destroying ourselves. We are of more value than that!) Don't you see that keeping these commandments leads towards being truly satisfied? Don't you see that by disobeying them, we become miserable? The Bible also says that in the end times, it would be as it was in the days of Noah. The days of Noah were filled with people who were violent, sexually immoral, and unwise. Violence is increasing every day in schools, in our hearts too by hating people, sexual immorality is increasing too because everybody sees porn more than anything on the internet, and people are making up their own sexualities. And people don't value knowledge anymore, we see that most of them lead towards what "other people will say" and what the trend is, but God has given us the ability to do much better than that. Every day we feel lonelier, and lonelier, and the word of God says in the first book of Genesis: "Man should NOT be alone!" Can't we see that we are heading towards destruction? We can see that 50 years ago, the world was so much livelier and lovelier even though it was still wicked, but not more wicked than it is now. But look at the world today. Nobody ever advises us to do these things in their way. Nobody ever wants to do these things anymore but is the world really becoming better this way? It's becoming worse and worse by the second even though in appearance, it seems as if it's becoming better but we all know it's not. The end times are what are near, that's what we are waiting for. The end is coming near and we should really hear the gentle voice of God that is nudging us to turn back to Him. He is our creator, He knows all of our weaknesses, our mistakes, our desires and every single cell that we are made of. We are the ones who have ran away from God thinking that He hates us, but He loves us more than even our own mother loves us! We run away from God, not the other way arround. As long as we're still alive, God is being patient and loving towards us, it's time we turn our hearts back to Him and start obeying Him again. We need to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour because He is the One that never did such things, He is perfect, and therefore if we have Him as teacher, we can get the perfect advice from Him, even if at first it doesn't seem perfect. He died for us so our sins can go clean, if we just accept Him as Lord and Saviour. That's all we need to do to finally feel free and whole. We will have joy and be promised eternal life that nobody has ever seen before. Talk to Him. You don't even need to be in the right state of mind to talk to him. Even if you're angry with God or even if you hate Him and want to complain or simply feel like He hates you, just talk to Him. Even if you don't believe He exists, there must be some slight curiosity inside of you to genuinely express yourself to Him. It doesn't matter how you feel, all He wants from you is to talk to Him. Pray to Him with a genuine heart, tell Him exactly what you're feeling. Pray to the REAL God, the CREATOR of the whole universe and our FATHER who created us all. Just pray and express to Him. If all you do is hide your real self from everyone, even your own self, at least once in your life be real with God. Express yourself freely to Him and He will hear you.

Also, the Euphrates river has bee starting to dry up in the past decade. In the book of Revelation, the Bible says that when the Euphrates river is fully dried up, 1/3 of the human population will die and 4 beasts will be unleashed on the Earth.
