Why our generation doesn’t care about anything anymore

Our

generation does not care about anything

anymore. We've grown exhausted to the

point of almost learned helplessness.

And so that's why we pretty much don't

care. Nothing feels worth caring about

anymore. It's not that we're lazy. It's

just that we've been disillusioned

because you're pretty much told from a

young age if you work hard and you do

honest work, you're going to have a good

life. But reality is starting to kick in

for a lot of us where it's like if you

work hard often times you can barely

stay afloat.

When effort doesn't match the reward,

motivation dies.

And now you couple that with constant

stimulation with, you know, your phone,

you can just have social media, you can

get dopamine hits from pretty much

anything at your fingertips nowadays. It

makes real life feel so dull.

We're in this sort of hazy state as a

whole gener as a whole generation,

excuse me.

And ultimately, nothing is fulfilling

anymore. Everything feels temporary. So,

jobs, relationships, trends,

nothing lasts.

Uh, people like to chase quick hits,

right? They want they want the six-pack

now. They want money, fast, fastest way

to get rich. Um, they want attention

clicks instead of actual meaning. The

system tends to reward surface level

success, not depth. If you can appear

successful, that's the ultimate goal,

not actually being successful. And so

this takes a toll on the psyche of

individuals. It

when everything becomes a performance

and when that performance is inherently

unfulfilling,

you're kind of left wondering what it

what is there to life. And so you just

you stop caring. You either turn into a

niist or an absurdist. Either, you know,

nothing makes sense and that sucks or

nothing makes sense so who cares? But

either way, nothing makes sense. It's

like it doesn't it doesn't inher nothing

inherently has meaning is what it feels

like. If you do what you're told, if you

go to school, if you put in honest,

respectable work, you know, get an

internship, put your name out there,

network, get a job, there's a very

there's like a 98% chance you're just

not going to enjoy what you do. Like I I

I'm going to be honest with you guys. I

don't know I mean I don't know a lot of

people in general, but I in I don't know

anybody that actually truly enjoys what

they do.

There is a death of the American dream.

The traditional formula is broken,

right? Like there there's some statistic

and I'm going to botch this, but it's

like the um for the minimum wage to

equate um the purchasing power um that

they had in the I believe it was the

'60s or the '7s, you'd have to be

earning $77. And by the way, that was

from this statistic is from like two

years ago. So it's probably like in the

80s, potentially 90s now. Um you but

yeah, you'd have to earn $77 an hour for

minimum wage to be able to afford a

home. That's like, bro, and every time

I'm I'm If you're watching this video,

you're probably you're likely somewhere

around my age. You know how it is. You

talk to older people and it's just one

like they're just like, "Oh, your

generation's not working hard enough."

or like you're all just distracted on

your phones, you're doing this or that,

you're lazy. They ain't they don't have

a clue, bro. It would take like three

humans to equate like nowadays to equate

what it took just one of them back then,

you know? And it's not like they're

competing with AI. I'm I'm going against

a machine that can operate a thousand

times faster than me and significantly

more efficiently and likely better than

me, you know, right when I'm entering

the job market. And a lot of people feel

this way.

Owning a home, raising a family,

building some sort of stability, it

feels out of reach. Back in the day, if

you had a roommate, people were like,

"You're gay." Nowadays, if you have one

roommate, they're like, "Wow, I'm

surprised you don't have more." Like

that's where we're at.

Older generations, a whole household

could survive off of one income.

Nowadays, that's not true.

Nowadays, you need the wife and the kids

to be working to afford anything,

you know, and all of that is taxed. The

government, you know, loves it.

The dream didn't evolve, but the world

evolved. And that's the problem.

There is certainly consideration

about whether or not the older

generations have failed us. They built

systems that worked for their time, but

they never adapted them. They didn't

care enough because it wasn't going to

affect them personally. Advice like just

work harder. It It's so out of touch,

right? policies and economic decisions

that have been created

essentially are promoting a wealth gap,

rising cost, fewer opportunities.

Uh there is a growing disconnect between

generations.

One thinks we're entitled, the other

thinks we're abandoned. It's it's just

it's absurd. What we're go working

towards is a two-faction system. You

used to have the upper class, the middle

working class, and the lower class. And

now it's like 1% upper class and they

own like 60% of the wealth and then it's

just like

2 to 3% middle class and even those

people it's it's really just like the

vast majority is the working class.

You know like everybody's just just

slaving away just to get by. You know,

the economy is breaking people mentally.

Constant financial stress.

Um, it it pretty much just leads to a

burnout before life even starts.

People deny milestones like moving out,

marriage, kids. There are reports coming

out that are saying

that

um I think it's like in 40 years from

now the average household will have

three generations in it. So grandparents

and their children and their children's

children, right? That's going to be a

household. And

when you think about it, this is just it

when all of this just negative

um human experience

or like this dull future in mind is so

prevalent and it's so in your face,

especially when you're working towards

something, you start to yet you're like,

I don't care about anything anymore, you

know?

I I can't win. It's like it's a it's a

losing game is what it feels like. And

so, yeah, we're we're sitting here and

we're kind of pissed off as a as a

generation because it's like when we

raise our kids, our kids aren't even

going to have the

um

neighborhood experience.

They're not going to be able to like go

out and trick-or-treat a neighborhood

because everybody's going to be living

in in an apartment complex probably in

the freaking projects cuz nobody could

afford, you know,

survival mode has replaced ambition and

with it we've destroyed the joys of

life. And when you destroy the pleasures

that God has, you know, gifted us, such

as spending time with friends and

family, um, such as, you know, being

able to, you know, buy things that that

make you feel good, um,

you know, that are like fruitful to the

soul. When you can't do these things

anymore,

you're left with nothing but despair,

and you stop to care as as a sort of

defense against the irrational nature of

your reality.

It's hard to care about a purpose when

you're just trying to survive.
