Everything about modern life is just so completely wrong and strange. We have a situation where, at any moment, millions of people could instantly die at the turning of a couple of keys at some missile base somewhere, when ordered to do so by some senile "world leader". People froth at the mouth over text on an electronic screen that some stranger half a world away posted on this thing called 'The Internet', while others are confused about what gender they are when all they have to do to settle the question is just look between their legs. We have naive young people who don't know any better openly supporting communism, while everyone else is deeply nostalgic for a past that only ever existed in their imagination because life now has become unbearable, even though from a purely material perspective things have never been better. In some countries (like Canada) the government has no issue with murdering its own citizens (euthanasia), while in others (Australia, England) the police act like the Gestapo when someone just expresses an opinion that isn't politically correct. In many nations people now actually accept constant surveillance if in return they're promised, by their government, security and safety.

This isn't normal. For most of man's history, things just weren't like this. What went wrong, how did we end up this way?
