This...feels too accurate. I don't like this. No one told you to wake up today and call me out. :(

sociology, while fun, is i think, the closest thing there is to hell on earth.

Nihilism is the brain child of philosophy. Same for anti-natalism. Sometimes it's fun though, others it's just a fucking mess.

Nihilism is the brain child of philosophy

But so is existentialism, absurdism, cynicism, and whatever Nietzsche was on about, which all refute nihilism.

Every time I understand another horrible aspect of human society, I desperately wish for the "fuck go back" button to be real.

Ignorance is a lot more comfortable in the face of seeing all the problems for what they are, and being so near powerless to do anything about them, you may as well be.

i like the feeling of my brain being in pain trying to conceptualize something. It's like the most primal form of confusion.

I blame stress/responsibility/burnout. Kids/teens generally have more time to enjoy learning.

The first one gets exploited, the second one can become president. Welcome to the age of information, everyone.

Your brain just needs more practice at being bored. Then you'll be able to enjoy long form content again.

Control your dopamine intake.

It's not because your body produces it that it's necessarily good for you.

Those are all things I say to myself every once in a while just so you don't think I'm coming at you with any sense of higher ground.
