    If there’s nobody fashionable doing anything right, then there’s nobody to follow who’s doing anything right. Therefore the whole world is gearing up for the apocalypse instead of bothering to take the simple steps that would prevent it. We get Elon Musk instead of another Tesla, who died penniless and robbed of his legacy. The apocalypse becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The world gets worse because no one is trying to make it better.

    A world populated by nothing more than gorillas is a waste.

      You think anything is going to stop the masses from indulging in convenience, instant gratification, and dopamine rushes when there’s no incentive in their eyes to do anything else? Who do you think are behind the companies which promote such behavior for their own gains? It’s working as designed and the average person cannot get their heads around it long enough to care.

      “what can I do?”

      Hopefully the strikes and protests around wages become more frequent. The only place to fight the greedy is by affecting their profit margins.
