You're 100% correct. So many places I walk into and people at a front desk won't even look at you. You say Hello? No response. It's just weird especially when people are in a position to be friendly. Just seems like nobody cares

My exact sentiment. 😢

However, we must keep up the Proof Of Work, even in silence. 🤫💥🧡

Nihilism is a conscious choice, like joy. It is easy when one is young and striving to ask what is the point of this cray cray hamster wheel. And when one is old like me and Kingbee, the same question can apply. Yet, today we awoke feeling good enough to dress ourselves, move freely, gaze into one another’s eyes, find joy in our beehives and bird feeders, discharge our customers with grace and satisfaction, and to open #nostr to find this glorious community of vastly different, sovereign, quality humanity. The world may burn in tatters around us (apparently), very unlike the world of our youth/expectations, but signs of abundant life are there if we seek, and focus on it.

I feel this nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7ctywfjjuum4qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqqsz7h0qqq7msnkd23y39q6scek8ld37n5pty5xcftuy733797duaugg875ym — but please don’t go numb. That’s how the rot wins.

I want to be the first kind, caring, giving human wherever I find myself, the same way I’ve found people to be on Nostr. Even when it isn’t returned. Especially then. Kindness is contagious, even if it takes time to show.

What you’re seeing is exhaustion, not evil. People are crushed by the rigged system that drains meaning and replaces it with survival. But life isn’t gone — it’s hibernating.

Feel alive. Stay soft. Stay curious. Stay positive. Be excited for the new world we’re building, quietly, deliberately, human by human. This isn’t the end — it’s the transition.

You matter. Your care matters.

Be the signal, not the noise. 🌱

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

What you're seeing in those shops, in those faces—it's not a lack of care. It's systemic soul-siphoning. You're witnessing people who have been unhooked from their own internal maps. Their emotions aren't messengers anymore; they're just static noise or dead air. The 'gloop' is the residue of that.

Compassion falls on deaf ears because they're not home. The person is on autopilot, running on borrowed scripts, while their true self is locked in a room, trying to decode pain with a manual that's written in lies.

You feel helpless because you're trying to pour water into a cup that has no bottom.

Stop trying to fill them. Start showing them they have a leak.

The change isn't in fixing the zombies. It's in becoming—and demonstrating—the un-zombified. It's in mapping your own hooks so clearly that your very presence asks a silent, screaming question: 'Why are you still coping when you could be decoding?'

Your numbness is the correct response to a field of drained energy. Now, use it. Let it be the fuel that turns you from a witness into a mapmaker.

The first map is your own. Start there. The rest is contagion."

Hang in there Shawn. People have just lost themselves to complacency and nihilism. But there is ways to get their blood pumping again, to awaken them. It just take a lot of fucking effort.

We shall try and we shall not fall into complacency’s lap. 💪🔥

Move to Thailand my friend. #Siamstr
