About GENERATION THETA
Boredom, a rampant epidemic in the New-Age Abundance, further de-transcendentalises the vast (silent and vocal) majorities of anonymized Society ‘members’ to increasingly busy themselves by Making more money via service-work or SNAP or quick-flip financial-instrument speculation (stocks, bitcoin, derivatives, scams, etc.), and occasionally thereafter, albeit more often therebefore – via debt, Wasting more money on things that they do not need → giving them some Nu-Fashion good-for-nothing Clutter-Comfort -or- ‘forcing’ repentant minimalists to replace sturdy old items with flimsy disposable newer nothings; AND Seeking escape from the stress (of the money, the clutter-comfort, and too much cottoncandy thinking about these) via excess alcohol, quasi-addictive drugs, luxury cruises, wilderness treks, spiritual retreats, online shopping, etc.
Of course, Real Food becomes inaccessible in this New-Age Abundance (of ours?); where produce (fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens) are now grown for appearance, sweetness, and shelflife – rather than for taste, aroma, and delicacy; while the once robust Energy Surge that came from feasting upon (marginal measured portions of) roasted fish, foul, game, or a culled cutting from the herd – has decayed into mutually indistinguishable gender-neutral mundane trough-fed human fodder. Thus, real home cooked ‘seasonal’ foods (requiring timely patience to prepare, cook, and simmer ‘forever’) have been replaced with ‘fresh’ frozen ready-to-eat imitations; which include ‘organic’ artificial flavor ‘enhancers’, lots of sugar or sugar substitutes, salts & spices (likewise) in quantities that would have once been considered medicinal, and a long list of incomprehensible chemicals or their legislated ‘E’ number nomenclatures; leaving only a few completely unaffordable restaurants in each city that actually (claim to) make real ‘old world’ (like poor people in our grandparent’s generation ate) ‘delicacies’ – while most of what they serve are (obviously) post-modern picture-perfect items of quasi-edible art.
Durable Clothing, Sturdy Housing, and Attention Spans are collapsing faster than infrastructure unmaintained bridges, water pipes, native species, cultural memory, etc.; with Kids addicted to hypnotic apps, imaginary information, anti-social networks, random good-for-nothing ‘influencers’, and privacy intolerant targeted advertisements – that recursively bring fungible us back to “Boredom” (symptomatic suffering from New-Age Abundance) which thereafter inclines most ‘mature’ adults to mindlessly conclude that having ‘meaningful’ relationships, marriage (with or without Kids), responsibility, and regulatory compliance are just too complicated to ‘instantly’ navigate; especially as the (post) Artificial Intelligence Enhanced educational standards (that ‘trained them’) continue to promote clueless everyone into an automatically polite – ‘pass the buck and just keep it moving forward’ – quality-valueless abyss.
“…Gently down the stream, …” stated: Once upon a time, we could wander out into the middle of nowhere, look up at the deepest black night sky, and find awe in the wondrous star-filled endless-expanse; while in our times, the ever progressing dark side of our earthly orb is gloriously illuminated – when viewed by the stars, and there is almost no more middle of nowhere from which we can look up to see that which inspired our not-so-distant prehistoric ancestors. Thus, with matter over mind, the carrot ate the stick so that trophy wives could silently circumvent their pseudo teenage anorexia, since everyone has special needs while neither he, she, it; we, you, they; thou, them, nor y’all is a jolly good fellow; G?D? (the concept) needs some consciousness awareness sensitivity improvement (by us) to validate “Best Life Practices Advice” risk avoidance protocols, and associated maturation opportunity acquisition hierarchies – according to the Compendium that Moshe Rabenu A”H received, accepted, and shared with us – at Sinai; the ebb and flow of Rabbinic convolutions thereto; the ‘Duties of the Heart’ whose ways are pleasant in all of her pathways – to learn from, appreciate, live by, and teach forward – “Alive are we all this day.”
Thus are my spurious migration ‘ideations’ – from instant USA back to Our Israel. Our Ongoing Traditional Alternative → When looking at and thinking About GENERATION THETA … Just over the event Horizon, After this Now, and Before the ‘next’ World to Come.
