Afra, Ray, et al: a great conversation and very stimulating (not to mention spooky as). “After the future” is a haunting topic and one that I first encountered in the work of Mikhail Epstein, the post-Soviet cultural theorist. Thank you! Geremie
I subscribed to the belief of there is a vibecession due to a lack of meaning or social structure. I'm from the southwest and a middleclass background, and taking Crusius as an example, I don't believe that there aren't working class jobs there making 50-60k a year, upon which someone could eventually afford a house, and have a family. It's just not a glamorous life, and requires a lot of restraint - ie suffering for which there may not be much meaning. I'm not convinced this is what these people really want even if its what they post in their manifesto, and economics feels like a convenient online scapegoat. Perhaps the Chinese side is very different, and/or I'm out of touch on this topic in a broader sense. I can't help but also feel Zhang was brokering in these sorts of emotions.
Excited to read more on these sorts of intersections from you guys.
