>>2971520It's not really that I've given up hope.
I do a lot of things in my life that I think are interesting and I enjoy doing, but it's more than I have "awakened" to the fact that a lot of the perceptions about life have been engineered by social engineers who have romanced things like "traveling" or "Being a journalist" and "being a photographer" and "traveling across America while living out of your car and meeting new people".
I suppose you could call them "Foundation myths" at this point, probably stemming from the 1960's. The idea that there was a way to have unusual life experiences that were more fulfilling than just going to work and coming home every day.
That was all bullshit.
