I feel like I’m witnessing the death throws of an empire. I feel like I’m watching the crumbling institutions of a bygone era I’ll never quite stop idealizing.

People are depressed.

Nobody is socializing.

Sex? Fuhgettaboutit

Leadership sucks.

Economies stumbling.

Diplomacy crumbling.

The world we once knew is no longer a thing. We live increasingly absurd times, where nothing makes sense, and new news comes on the daily. you can’t keep up, and in this way, we have reached the singularity. there is no past. no future. there is only now, and whatever meme is capturing the most clicks.

whatever. I guess we’re just at that point in the cycle. I wonder what 2048 is going to look like?
