The history of value systems is abysmal.
Every system humans create is destroyed by another, and I am no progressive - I see no link between the rise and fall of these systems and progress.
I realize this is edgy, but I can't shake the feeling that everything I do is pointless on a profound level.
I have struggled, and what is worse I have won. I achieved a set of goals I held up for myself, but my victory has brought me nothing I care for. It's been smoke and mirrors. Fog.
I've been drunk for months. Just stopped showing up for my cushy middle class job that I worked so hard to get into. I am going to be homeless (again) and I don't see a point in doing anything. The most hilarious irony is that I was a credentialed therapist. I've been published several times in my field.
Do other races than the Caucasian deal with existential crisis?
Is our race doomed to get fucked by it? To gravitate towards rationally nonsense extremes such as "Everything is pointless" or the close corollary "Everything is equal (I'm looking at you egalitarianism) or "Everything is digital - it is either a 1 or a 0, yes or no, black and white. The 0 must be annihilated."
How does one overcome this? How does a nation overcome this?
