one of the topics that's been ringing around my head since my socdem days is "what causes society to change?" and as of recent it feels like the question is harder and harder to care about as my perspective changes from seeing society less and less as a collection of individuals and more as a machine reproducing itself. when faced with the question, "wont this make things worse?" my response feels like, "doesnt everything just keep getting worse?" more and more i cant seem to care about anything wrt society other than how to help people escape it as much as possible and if it's possible to kill the machine at all. everything else just seems like we're getting in arguments about what should be served for lunch
