“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

I wanted to get back into music production after I finished my secondaries, but I am so hesitant to buy anything because of the amount I spent on those damn essays. I am excited to get another interview, but I am also not looking forward to asking management for time off. What do I want right now? I am just gonna watch the MCR Chicago stream... maybe play some Stardew and fix my mods... do more journaling... dink around on the piano... the drill...

♡ I have this leftover pink lace that pretty much hung out of my notebook and unused, so I used that as a border of my new spread. I put my recent pages in a new binder because my old one is close to exploding. Time to start anew. I listened to the recent IVE song, and I think it's pretty good!

It's been a hot while since I talked about anything adjacent to this (studying related but not me ranting about the medical school application). The other day I learned from a parent about my underclassman landing a job at a top company and being able to afford a house. Subsequently, there is the talk of, "why didn't you take that easier path?" First, I'm sure it was not that simple. Secondly, I didn't feel annoyed like I might have felt back in college, but I kind of get it, especially with the amount of trauma that Gen X relatives go through (in my case, I have immigrant parents so for people who share my identity you can probably relate). The ability to get an education, get a nice paying job, and reach a point of safety—all giant privileges they want me to take advantage of. Still, I cannot help to think of all this on a systemic level. How much jadedness and hopelessness has been imparted by the world around them. How much that molded them to see their worth in dollar signs as success becomes safety, duty, and a weird kind of "morality." It connects back to why there is an association with being a "bad kid" for bad grades. Why the arts and humanities are underfunded. Why we forfeit our hobbies for the sake of something more useful, faster, productive, and profitable. "Be realistic," I am told whenever I question these systems, for numbers talk, money is safety, and more money means satisfaction and consumption. If the ultimate life goal is a high-paying job—not human connection, community, or experience, then what will become of humanity really. I have already lost parts of myself that I am struggling to get back from that conditioning.
