I wonder if this ties into the quiet quitting and anti-work sentiment we're seeing post COVID too.
People are stressed, wages lower than we deserve and no sign of changing, competition is now global with benefits going to a fraction of society, economic news which just gets darker.
I don't blame people for regressing and "lying flat".
My escape is watching people fishing and diving on deserted Indonesian islands on YT.
Then I remember I have to cover my kid's £100 per day nursery and private school fees..... I need a heavy blanket.
- nine_zeros 4y agoPeople are working too hard for too little gain. It's a mass burnout all over the society. And now, everyone will have to face another boom bust cycle. At some point, people just stop caring. The society wasn't working for them anyway. It might as well collapse.
- ilikerashers 4y agoDoesn't seem like it collapses anymore. We have MMT and QE so we all keep going. Perhaps this is the peak-capitalism environment. People stop caring about striving.
