random thought of mine, but I think we are going to get a lot midlife crisis's and fight club/american beauty style movies like in the 90's when everyone got depressed about spending their lives in cubicals and living in the suburbs. idk maybe I'm too high rn but this feels like it's gonna be a thing
Nah bud, capitalism doesn't help but in the end it's caused by the fact of death, it's part of the human condition, and learning to come to terms with it is the foundation of the last stage of life. Literally the first written fiction we have is about existential dread. Gilgamesh, Job, the fate of Achilles in the Iliad although existential dread isn't the entire focus of the work, etc.
