   Is it just me or is society just about endlessly building more elaborate piles of shit on top of the existing piles of shit? Is anybody even happy within this miserable reduction and confinement of human existence into a pointless system of largely arbitrary "norms" and expectations for the sake of alleged progress and growth, which is mostly solely quantified by what constitutes "economic" growth and doesn't even necessarily result in a better / happier life for anyone (often just the opposite)

     I would so much rather live in a world where there is never another new shitty iPhone or needlessly faster internet connection developed ever again, but every living person has clean, safe water to drink

     Literally none of the "goals" of a "normal" person within this society are things that I at all want or would in any way make me happy
