I've said for years that our state of being in today's society is analogous to the ghosts in the Sixth Sense. America/Capitalism collapsed in 2008. Boom. Gunshot. Dead.
But the trauma of that event was too much to process all at once.....and so we've done the only thing we can: just kept going about our routines and pretending like nothing happened. That's why existence feels hallow and like nothing changes while also getting slightly worse all the time...and why it will just continue to keep going until we finally admit to ourselves that our old existence is done and that we need to move on.
