“... low trust, postmodern hellscape ruins ...”
but at least we have lots of cheap consumer products and entertainment! sarcasm.
But seriously, I’m not sure how we even address the situation at this point. It probably has to fail in some fashion in order to get better.
It has to eventually. This system can’t sustain itself at this point. Nobody wants to live a life where you spend all your free time cooped up at home consuming media online and having plastic junk shipped to your residence because you don’t feel safe to go out in public. I can’t say I have solutions either, but we can all agree that this is not what society is supposed to be like.
