The world has gone to shit. Literally nothing on the youtube/news is even remotely close to being positive. Small scale wars keep happening. Trump keeps playing tariff games with other countries. Chip/RAM prices keep skyrocketing and apparently every country is a debt bomb. AI is a bubble, if it bursts it will be bad, if it doesn’t, it will still be as bad. Governments keep spying on people, protests keep getting violent, terrorist attacks keep happening, communal violences keep increasing, mob mentality is increasing exponentially among people. Is there anything left in the world that’s not absolutely fucked?. Is everything beyond repair at this point?

All of this reminds me of the “Nothing is real” monologue from Mr Robot S1E10

“A world built on fantasy! Synthetic emotions in the form of pills. Psychological warfare in the form of advertising. Mind-altering chemicals in the form of food. Brainwashing seminars in the form of media. Controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks…”

“… Real? You want to talk about reality? We haven’t lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. We turned it off, took out the batteries, snacked on a bag of GMOs while we tossed the remnants in the ever-expanding dumpster of the human condition…”

“We live in a kingdom of bullshit!”
