Capitalism and neo-colonism has really been there for some decades and has significantly damaged the societal structure controlled by selfish and inhuman being and portraying itself as a liberal and democratic tool. The horrors it has brought are now irreversible even if the social psychology and consciousness understands it because those people can never think of letting anyone reverse that.

It reminds me of a Simpsons episode where they are taking riches and celebs to the other planet while poor and unpopular are stranded on the earth getting blasted and in nuclear waste in the atmosphere.

When they have basically snatched every opportunity and power from you of redefining and rethinking of a more flexible and humane society, by giving u hope that they'll do it themselves and will fix everything. And now there's no way out when they've betrayed us and the humanity for their personal and short pleasure.

Other than the age, What are the things that made us feel less happier, less in the moment, less energized and more depressed than the last decade?

I believe it's not that fascism as it objectively is has increased since the last decade, but it sure has been put on a global headline with the media and globalisation. And i think there hasn't been real increament in the fascistic element but decline... But the politics has basically used it for their agenda manking and then making it mainstream more than it should've been.

I too am transitioning. Have cancelled my membership to many platforms Netflix, Spotify etc. And now i want to just buy one thing and soak it in and remember each of that when I'm old.

Effortlessness doesn't leave any print on your memory of whatever you achieve, nor does it give you that feeling of fulfillment when u get that thing yourself after doing much more effort than just tapping spotify.

I agree 💯. There's just too much to take in today. Year ago, when we used to talk about how we don't have so many resources in our access and we need more, what we really meant was that yes I need more things but not more stuff, i need more of this thing where I'm enjoying an album for weeks i need more of it. I want to go get a new album myself. I want to be able to access everything... But not that i want to feel FOMO when i see people going from one thing to another. I didn't want to see this becoming a cool thing to just know too many things, buy too many things, have access to too many things. When did that become a competition and when did i become a boomer if i didn't participate in that race of destroying my brain and my psychology which affects my life eventually.

How was your journey to picking up a good habit like reading from being an ADHD kid who scrolls all day?

I also had started with audiobooks but then as i wanted to feel more solemn and to connect to myself more closely and naturally, i switched to physical books. Having a mediator between you and your thing (in this case book) really still makes things a lil uneasy for me. When u can just go with your own comfort listening yourself speak the words in a book in your mind, really makes me feel lot better compared to having a mediator between. It feels like when I'm reading on my own, i am in my natural habitat.

That transition to the modern world has significantly contributed to us thinking that we were happier when we were kids. There were lesser things and it was fun to give everything plenty to time to soak it all in whether it's a video game, a book, nature or a vacation. Now it's just too much.
