@Mr_NutterButter Maybe it's the events that happened over the past few years that made a lot of people, especially young people feel hopeless, but even before then it feels like a lot of people were falling for existential nihilist propaganda, and to get into conspiracy theory territory, I feel like it was intentional. It prevents people from making their lives, their communities, and the world better, and it also lowers birthrates (anti-natalism) and in extreme cases, lead to suicides (depopulation).

The solution? I think it's to live a life full of experiences and have that define you as opposed to valuing material possessions and obsessing over current events. I've talked about this recently. There are still festivals, gatherings, and other events. Go to them instead of complaining that modern society offers nothings but Funko Pops and Marvel movies.

There's more to it. Find some hobbies and I mean productive hobbies. Learn to make things. Find a hobby that requires you to leave your home.

I don't have all the answers, but people really need to get out of their comfort zone.
