Anyone else feel like we've gone too far?

2 weeks ago 21

Like just in general, as a society. When it comes to things like greed and technology etc.

Everything has to be monetized, i feel like people think about themselves and money more than ever before since i can remember. Corporate greed is crazy. Nothing is made well anymore, lower quality at a higher price. People don't have pride in their work bc they either don't get paid enough, or see these influencers etc. making bank on these social media apps and think "why am i working my ass off while they make more money making brainrot on tiktok?" Also, not everything on the planet has to have an app. Don't even get me started on AI.

I feel like my brain is overloaded. I know too much about the world, but i can't trust any of it. So i have all this useless knowledge floating around in my head, and half of it could be lies. I don't want to have access to the whole world in my pocket. I don't need to. I don't need an AI to answer all my questions and solve all my problems for me. I don't want to send memes back and forth to my friends, i wanna hang out. In real life. I wanna have things to talk about and share with them when we get together. I want surprises and things to look forward to. Spontaneous visits and things like that.

I think we should've stopped at having desktops and landlines in the house. I miss simpler times.
