why is everybody so unhappy?
i noticed during covid that half the people i interacted with were having the worst day, week, month or possibly year of their life
this remains true and i’m not sure why. did we all forget how to be happy?

Things like MKULTRA and the hegemony of neoliberalism are decades old.
We're living through the decline and fall of a civilization.
To borrow from a mentor, himself citing a historian whose name escapes me, golden ages are periods of almost limitless opportunity & positive growth.
The present is the opposite of that, almost everywhere.

possibly, there are certainly signs
but people have felt that way for the whole history of civilization, so i tend to discount it a little
why are my acquaintances so glum, right now?
