I'm only 33, but I feel like I'm 90.

I really do agree with you on that first bit about technology, it's seriously a malignant cancer that continues to interject itself in every facet of our lives, but I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it and it's only going to get worse.

I agree with the second part to an extent as well, I reckon people are getting more sensitive to a point where it is just ridiculous, but you know sensitivity has been around since the year dot and its never going to go away.

And also, if you're saying stuff that is offending people, continue to say it if you believe its right, unless you're saying threats or being verbally abusive its not going to hurt them.

That virtue signalling stuff is going to keep happening man, all those so called 'philanthropist' movements are gonna keep happening, and its not like these haven't been happening for ages. All I'm saying is they are not gonna stop so you're just gonna have to deal with it.

The decay of morality in society is a big problem, I think, ironically, it's because of the emphasis on individuality that is placed on society. I'd hazard a guess that as a result of this continued stress on individuality narcissism is now rampant and people just care about themselves and so when they deal with people they are thinking purely egocentrically.

You know, I think a lot of the stuff you said is true and you're really shining a light on how fucked up how our civilisation is, but sometimes the shit you see on the internet are a world away from what is actually happening.

For instance, you might have seen online how 'racial tensions' are rising or whatever but when you buy your morning coffee in the morning and you speak to folks that are of different race they treat you normally and nothing like how the media portrays it.

Just something to think about my dude. Sorry if there's any grammar mistakes it's 1 o'clock in the morning lol.
