The truth about life is, it’s a dog-eat-dog world. The people who’ve lived the most exclusive, powerful lives in human history didn’t get there by playing fair. They raped, they stole, they killed. They didn’t just steal wallets; they stole land, resources, whole economies. They didn’t rob a bank, they became the bank. And the world rewarded them for it.
The reason you're depressed isn't just because you're ugly, mentally ill, or burdened with personal issues, it's also because you're oversocialized, just like Ted Kaczynski described. You've been conditioned to internalize every expectation, every rule, every judgment from society. You're constantly plugged into what others think, say, and demand of you — and it's suffocating. It chips away at any sense of self that isn’t shaped by external approval. That kind of overstimulation doesn’t just wear you down it hollows you out.
