The juxtaposition is serendipitous.
At this point I want to lose my mind too. Let me in! I want to live in blissful ignorance too! Dear lord please make me an idiot too, I beg of you!
Since 2020, I’ve been telling people that the whole world has entered a collective mental health crisis. Covid has really put on display all the cracks in the systems currently in place and those cracks are only getting bigger.
All the people that ignored me or dismissed me were the type of people who thought we would eventually return to a pre-covid era of normal. Which was the vast majority of everyone I was surrounded by.
These days I talk to only a handful of people who take their mental health seriously and I keep them very close to my heart.
We were totally setting up collective mental health crises since the 1980s and I suspect even before then. When I was in high school in the early 1980s I saw the social mechanisms that were making the alt-right, attitudes that only got worse by Y2K and have turned into fascist-backed hyper-masculinity in the 2020s.
Ideology over commonwealth drove us to this.
Not me, I’ve actually found my fucking mind, but you do have to lose it before you can find it. I’ve been in and out depression over the last few years. I’m no longer worried or anxious, but instead calm and at ease - because now I am able to make sense of the world, and I can clearly see that things will always be alright in the long term.
Future historians will look back to the period after the Corona pandemic and call it the Great Fuckening
Bold of you to think we have a future
Nah I’d say it was around 2014/5 everyone started to lose their minds, the pandemic was just a catalyst.
It’s hard to see the path of wisdom these days. Sometimes the only light left is a spark of madness.
Maybe that’s why the sane ones never seem to do anything, in times like these.
Posting this on Threads is 👌
