    This is exactly what Marx talked about

      Yeah. It’s weird how he predicted the antisemitic frogs, too.

      He said that with capitalism we’d become overwhelmed with choice and freedom and food to the point where we’d be incapable of making a decision for ourselves?

      That’s what he said really?

        no he has not said that. this is about the theory of alienation

        it has nothing to do with getting overwhelmed with freedom and choice

        No, alienation under late stage capitalism. He talked about it extensively.

        That was Aldous Huxley

    When I first entered the American work force, I used to feal pretty depressed. I still do, but I used to, too.

    Oh hey! This is exactly what a DBT values assessment is for! I have my patients do them all the time. Y’all want worksheets?

      That’s just what happens when you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in the cage.

    Fuck, felt that in my soul. Had a job once that completely hollowed me out. Took a few days off to go see a live show and spent most of the time I was there holed up in the hotel room watching garbage tv or just walking around downtown.

    I got to be me again. I missed me. I missed me so much.

    This is how I feel on normal days.

    Taking small vacations and doing small trips is what helps me feel alive again.

    But it’s harder now. I’ve been taking antidepressants and while they’ve helped tone down my sadness and anxiety, it did the same with my happiness.

    Like I’m aware I should be happy or sad, but there’s no reaction.

    Yes, and it’s intentional. Rich people don’t need happy people. They need drones to do their biddings. Happiness? Dreams? Building a better future for your kids? That does nothing for your masters and is therefore unwanted and systemically suppressed.

    As long as we live as serfs for the 1% happiness is something you have to fight for not something you can achieve by doing what you are supposed to do.

    Society currently works against us.

    Maybe have better hobbies? I like videogames as much as the next guy and do play them, but they are literally “pay for dopamine” as an industry. If your main past time is playing through a carefully engineered dopamine machine, it’s no surprise you feel no long term achievement

      He could also just play games that have a really big modding community, like DOOM II, Super Mario 64, Minecraft, etc… There is a much more human focus, and OP could make his own mod too!

        Maybe speedruns too could be a good fit.
