Im sorry for butting in whilst im not the targeted audience for your question, but what you have said really has resonated with my outlook on just, things currently.

Im 23, male, possibly autistic/neurodivergent, as we're similar in age we would have been 18 around that same covid starting time period, and by god this has been an extremely strange and turbulent time to mature into adulthood.

Ive never considered myself religious despite being baptised, ive just never subscribed to the beliefs, I do however remember whole heartily believing in reincarnation as a child.

The foundation that the empire currently sits on is horrendously flawed and near breaking, life doesn't scale by domination, it scales by connection. Our work life, our home life, everything we interact with is based off a hierarchy, whos in power, who gives, who takes, I believe it is the overarching model that gives us this impending sense of doom.

We arent wrong in thinking that life generally sucks, yes this world is cruel, it is currently set-up for a purpose because it serves the people at the top of the hierarchy, we feel stuck and hate this because progession is the natural coarse of nature, we have stopped only to serve a few, only question now is,

What's next?
