ā”ļø Gen Z is the most apathetic and detached generation in living history due to the increasing difficulty of finding a meaningful life.
š ļø It used to be that if you followed the rules, society guaranteed you a home, family, and purpose. But that promise has been stripped away over the past few decades.
š The Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution expanded people's world views and made their lives more complicated as traditional structures were replaced with ideology.
The internet and access to mass media have exposed Gen Z to a multitude of belief systems and subjective views on life.
This exposure has created a hyperreal world where concepts and people are warped, leading to extreme and detached experiences.
The hyperreal world influences people's values and beliefs, causing a shift in society's perception of objects and individuals.
š Living in a hyperreal world makes it difficult to find meaning in life.
š° The economic challenges make it nearly impossible for most people to achieve traditional milestones like buying a home.
š The ratio of home prices to median household income has increased significantly, making it harder for young people to afford homes in big cities.
š° The high cost of living and stagnant wages have made it increasingly difficult for people to afford basic necessities, let alone start a family.
šŗ Hyper-reality and information overload have caused people to feel overwhelmed and powerless to address socio-economic issues.
š¼ The replacement of reality with hyper-reality has shifted the focus to social status and undermined the link between wages and productivity.
š Society is more focused on the optics of equality, but social mobility is becoming harder.
š„ People have different approaches to find meaning: detaching from reality, embracing hyperreality, or finding personal strength.
š Embracing hyperreality for social status might not lead to true fulfillment.
š” Embracing hyper reality or completely rejecting it are not ideal solutions to the crisis of meaning in society.
š Rather than leaving society, it is better to work within it and strive to make it better.
š Creating one's own values and shaping the world to align with personal purposes is a way to gain power and control.
š” During times of crisis, strong people are bred.
š A community is offered to help individuals overcome social media addiction and regain their time.
š„ The Moon School of Living provides a premium environment for deeper discussions and personal connections.
šŗ Gen Z is slowly giving up due to societal pressures and the fear of failure.
šŖ There is a need to empower and support Gen Z in overcoming challenges and finding their passion.
š Creating a supportive community can help Gen Z feel connected and motivated to succeed.
