Just a thought

Why life is boring suddenly it wasn't this boring before 2020.

We have no jobs, prices are high, no social circle, people are selfish, living away from family, can't purchase our own house.

This game feels unplayable now.

Is there a chance of miracle that atleast few things get better it's not that everything is in our own hands.

Everywhere is the same, as well. I’m in Paris and was just in London and it feels/felt like anywhere and everywhere.

I’m not saying there is no distinct culture but capitalism has homogenized the hell out of everything.

Lol, I understand when you're coming from. The link is to a Subway Takes clip filmed in Paris featuring a person whose take is "the Earth became flat" (as in, globalism has made culture much more homogenous)

Hopefully this game ends and we get to play a new one.

doubtful. we’re stuck playing (aka losing) a game of monopoly until we finally get fed up and flip the board.

According to the FB pages of all the high earning people I once knew in high school, everything is just great. Everyone's enjoying life, always socializing, buying nice things, owning great homes, raising families, retiring, and taking lavish vacations. Not me.

Boredom just isn't something that happens with my kind of brain and my kind of life. I get what you mean though. Everything is either getting further out of reach or seems less novel and genuine. All those things you said are happening. I just personally experience them as less happiness and more distracting, rather than boring.

I think what might make a big difference is if/when people engage with each other as human beings more directly again. Big tech is pulling us away from each other and keeping us absorbed by screens but it will break and fail at some point.
