Apparently we have constructed a society in which everyone, including children, has to spend all day doing things they can't care about without pharmaceutical help.

When this last happened under the Qin dynasty, it ended in the Taiping Rebellion, and produced nothing of value except those little canned oranges.

I hear pornographic performers are on Viagra too.

Meanwhile nobody actually has children, and CO2 PPM keeps going up and up and up.

What the fuck is everyone doing?

Just going through the motions on pills, while our intrinsic motivations scream at us that we're supposed to be doing something else.
