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)
