Last season had the 'Climate Change is inevitable and resistance is pointless and unethical' (captain planet analogue goes to tragically kill coal-miners, nobody mentions that having superpowers could easily dismantle fossil fuel infrastructure or at the very least off execs). This most recent episode has omnipotent dinosaurs return to earth and create a post-scarcity Earth, leading to newspaper articles and characters exclaim how bored their life is now that banks, jobs and climate change have been eradicated. The dinosaurs are purposely boring and speak in vague lib 'empathy' language, leading to characters genuinely use the words "Virtue signalling" despite my understanding of virtue signalling being just saying nice words, not backing them up with material conditions.
This show has fun sci-fi concepts and I enjoy the slow de-edgification of Rick, but damn clearly Elon's cameo (in an otherwise perfect episode) was a harbinger of grotesque things to come.
Am I the only person who never wanted to do anything as a child
I'm sorry if that's the case, but you still must have wanted to do something? I'm not necessarily talking about "All kids want to become astronauts and athletes", even just things like basic entertainment like socializing, playing games, reading/watching, drawing or some form of creating... Are things you must have wanted to do in your free time? Of course this all depends on the opportunities we have to do such things.
Like in a post-scarcity society I feel like something as basic and as look down upon as "wanting to play all the video games ever" is still a neat thing to want to do with your free time.
Nah. No ambition, no creative drive, could take or leave spending time with friends. I liked playing video games but I wasn't, like, driven to do so, it was something fun that filled the time, y'know, it was treats like :matt-jokerfied: would say.
