It's easier to dominate those who don't believe in anything*

I have always been convinced that existential suffering is a fundamental good. For the society in which we live, it represents one of the very few elements that can undermine it.

In a nutshell, if more people were aware of the suffering in which they live, we would be at the dawn of the new civilization and perhaps a real step towards a sort of evolution, something better. Instead, many prefer "not to feel", taking pills, engaging in alienating activities, forcing themselves to a sociality made of fake smiles, and even using Yoga to relax a little. More and more people carry obvious signs of mental imbalance, total lack of any value, deep existential pain. For the Leviathan we have created, it is essential that no one notices anything. Better to slip into a slow flattening without any kind of emotion anymore and simply survive as a bolt survives.

The modern human being is mostly reduced to a function. I perceive this period a bit like a showdown. On the one hand, many who simply slide towards a new dystopian society that they do not perceive as such, simply because they are now numbed. On the other hand, those who no longer "can handle it" and suffer. I appeal to the latter because they are the only ones with whom I believe I can have a dialogue. Be careful not to let yourself be reduced to nothingness, not to give up on life, not to give up on pleasures and beauty, do not let yourself be put in a corner. I remind you, my dear friends, as well as myself to "look" in the direction I want to take. I urge you to focus on a great example, a real or fictional character that you would like to look like. Although if you are thinking of a Kadashian or similar, then we are speaking two different languages :). Those who have lost all value, those who no longer believe in anything are easy prey and are already dead. Changing the world would be very simple, just ask yourself "what would XX do in this situation?" (XX stands for the chosen character). So, when in doubt, always do what XX would do. It doesn't matter if there are a few or many of us, even being alone is still worth it. To live like XX, fearlessly drinking the nectar of joy and suffering means changing the world. Don't let yourself be dominated by nothing!
