So the truth is that we are actually seeing a new permanent system being placed in real time. This is not going to go back to how it used to be even if we attempt to boycott. This is something that has been planned for a long time. They want to control everything.
When I was in high school, people used sparknotes. Nobody pretended that sparknotes was a way to better learn the text than by reading the book. Reading sparknotes wasn't considered a special skill orthogonal to reading the book. We were simply being lazy shits.
Do yall see how every single person you know irl is totally happy and fine using ai and you sit there feeling like a weird woke chronically online freak for feeling differently because you literally read about how it’s using up the water and killing people and animals
In high school, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "what the fuck are you talking about you lunatic" and then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.
@patriach2051 Having less work being the reason you lack the drive to improve yourself is worrying. There are so many other ways to improve yourself outside of a capitalist framework.
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $2,200 for rent and $7 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
