"What do you want?" A question I am sure all of you have heard before, whether it was in Elementary talking about your future profession, your salary in a job interview, questioning about family and future children, talking about a persons dream car - so its quite understandable that people who always want MORE dont understand people who want...NOTHING.
A professor of mine said in an economical class talking about the "Homo Economicus" that people want always things they dont have - similar to us wanting sex. Craving needs. The very bottom functions of the Maslow Pyramid of desires. And while it is true that I want and kind of need these things - for my body, my soul doesnt react to it whatsoever.
I actually dont WANT to eat, or drink or constantly move around. I dont want that. I just do it for survival instincts.
So what about "When Lambo?" why should I buy or own a Lamborghini? Because some asshole ok the internet names Andrew Tate said I should? Why even need a car at all if a lot of jobs can be done from home or simply using the train? And for a lot of people you do not need that car to get the basic necessarities either.
What about a "Career"!? Surprisingly job opportunities and applications have gotten so bad, and the cost of living has risen so much that Generation Z is argubly the first ever Generation in centuries that does not care about a career, work life mentality but rather a "Living in the moment" mentality. Why care about being rich when your old and fragile? Money cant buy youth, said and shows by influencers world wide.
What about the housing crisis? Well housing in the west, especially European countries has gotten so high its unaffordable - that said men usually dont need a house or even an Apartment. A quote once said "Men just need a TV and their fine". The house is usually just a thing you need for the true Need or Want in that case - a family. Aint nobody raising kids if you got nothing to show for these days.
But ultimately its not a car, or a career or even children - its all just Dopamine. That little neuromodulary molecule that tells your brain to get more of something. Drugs especially manipulate it to want more of the drug itself. The curse of humanity to never be satisfied with anything. To want more likes, subscriptions, money, sex and everything you think all the posers on the Social Media have - but what about wanting none of it?
What if you are truely just comfortable with yourself and your current materialistic possessions? And what if you dont care about what Society wants from you?
Its not so much about the blackpill but rather doomerism, when even things THAT you want are seemingly out of reach. So you came to the conclusion of simply not realizing your wants. Why even try!? You might come close to it, but never reach it. Then all the hard work will be for NOTHING. And a lot of people have been standing in front of a pile of shattered shards which they once called their life.
Even in the case that you will be able to archive it, then the next thing comes and the next thing and the next thing.
Your dopamine crave is addicting, warping a humans mind towards feeble visions. Turning the new generations into Smartphone Zombies.
So in all of this ever lasting crisis how DOES a person who wants NOTHING find acception. Well, I cant answer that - because I am that person and people dont understand me and my solitude. They dont WANT me, NEED me or CARE about me.
Ultimately, the only thing I want is that society doesnt question me anymore about "What I want".
