Seriously. Are we just bored? What do I mean? Let me explain myself. Lately, I feel like America has peaked. We've reached the endgame of capitalism, and now there is nothing really novel or new to discover. There's this sensation that there is nothing truly original anymore, which perhaps is why Hollywood is obsessed with Franchises and Remakes more than original content. But even the original content that's getting produced isn't all that original, that it's just using a genre formula to birth original content. But there's more than that. Now we're starting to truly reach godlike powers in the realm of physics, and whatever breakthrough happens next, we won't really be ready for, but it will be highly original. But we've satisfied all of our immediate comforts (as it appears). The systems could be far better and far less destructive, and of course Climate Change is like some kind of Endgame boss that is less of a pleasure to fight and more of...

Climate Change is the challenge of this century. There's no refuting that. Now, more than ever, as we near the 2020 Climate goals, as the Amazon flares up, as we enter consistently hotter and hotter years on record, and as weather events and phenomena increase in scale and destructiveness, we are in need of action. The trouble is this; we need a vision, a vision for a society that better co-exists with nature, a society that has transformed into one that upholds the ideals of the "Green Dream." And while activists and young people see the world burning around them and know to fear what the world could become, it isn't simply enough to know what you don't want. You need a vision of what you do want, a vision of a post-climate crisis society, one that we can motivate ourselves to work towards.  The problem right now is that the comforts we would lose from transforming from our current society are much clearer than those we will gain from living in a sustaina...

New Theory, based on personal experience: The "distraction culture" created by social media, the internet, and any other service that provides low "friction" in accessing content actually represses self-actualisation, leading in part to the reason it may be leading to higher rates of depression and mental health issues. In conjunction with technology reducing the need for interaction with the world to produce results and products (and therefore providing self-actualisation), there becomes a void of self-actualisation in individuals, leading to depression, anxiety, and uneasiness in younger generations. Gen Z effectively has to work less, but also have more things to distract them from work and work that is more abstract and detached from tangible, real world results. It's a no wonder how ADHD and ADD diagnosis' have  skyrocketed in the past couple of years.  If you can't see the impact of your work, how can you measure and confirm that what you'r...
