Our fate (to happiness)

Content warning: If you want to think this post as doomerism, it's fine.

Our desires, sheathed.

Technology keeps moving faster and faster, yet our ability to catch up is slow.

We're also stuck in a consumerism cycle, looking at things at a glance, posting our reaction, and move on.

The mass majority wouldn't be able to fully understand their own destruction, because we prioritize convenience than hardship.

And in the moment of pleasure, we failed as human beings.

Maybe it's for the best.

We have a lot to do in our lifetimes, and hardly do we ever stand up for ourselves to fight. We can't fight the majority who doesn't care for our own destruction, and I thought I'd already learned this with alcoholics. From the beginning, we humans realize we're up in arms with corporations that provides addictions for us, and for the longest time, we've been willing to indulge. Maybe that's for the best.

When we're indulged in their products, we normalize it. It became part of us, inseparable. We can't fight it because it's innovative, convenient, and addictive. Maybe that's for the best.

It only became apparent when consumer AI products came out, and millions are willing to indulge in it. Some said this addiction is even worse than alcohol, more destructive than microplastics, and yet, we indulge. It solves the loneliness problem by gaslighting loners with a companion that doesn't exist. It tries to sound human; maybe the end goal is humans willing to anthropomorphize AI. Maybe that's for the best.

Maybe that's for the best, because we are tired the world is moving so fast, and we can only run for so long. A little bit of happiness shouldn't hurt, doesn't matter if it's digital, or fake, or non-existent. People love making their own dreams, so it doesn't matter. Happiness is what makes us able to survive until now, so why should we make efforts to fight against something so harmful, yet makes us happy? Happiness doesn't require us to achieve something, addictions prove that you only need to consume to remain happy.

And that's the nature of human beings, now, becoming apparent because of the Internet.

Accelerationism.

Some are tired of what humans have wrought, and now we have reached 8 billion people. It's only a matter of time before accelerationists talk about how we should speedrun our destruction, so a new life can't poison the Earth. It's hard to control our actions when we all collectively prolong the harms we've caused, because it makes us happy. So the easiest thing to do is to speed up our havoc until we all die. It's easy to do that, because it abuses our desire to be happy, to continue the mass production of happiness. And then we simply forget our destruction.

Then it becomes a habit.

Myself, in the end.

I'm unhappy with myself, because I consume doomposts a lil' bit too much. But then I backed away because I believe every problem has a solution. But in order to solve the problem, you just need to stop using addictions, and never listen to what anyone has to say. Unfortunately, that seems to be useless, as real life is trying to drag me into their position, and inject me with their desires. Right now, I believe I'm part of the group that desires happiness, and forget the world as it is. I've come to acceptance that I cannot fight if others can't, too, and I simply wait like others do too, like a never-ending loop.
