The article discusses the overwhelming nature of modern life, emphasizing how the constant influx of information leads to feelings of dread and loss of control. As conversations shift from casual to deep existential discussions, it becomes apparent that this sentiment affects everyone. The article critiques the traditional narratives of hard work and planning, revealing the myth of control we are taught to believe in. Ultimately, the lesson is that adapting to chaos is more important than attempting to control every situation.
Not just over the big, obvious stuff-the economy, politics, technology evolving ahead of us-but over the daily things, too. Our focus. Our sense of time.
The truth we're dancing around-in our group chats, in the silences between notifications-is this: We have lost control.
We're not imagining it. And we're not broken. We're living through a collective loss of control-and our brains are glitching under the pressure.
Trying to control everything is exhausting. The real skill is adapting.
