Let's talk about aspiration.

I remember high school literature teacher mentioning the words of "I'm worried that we have a generation that doesn't believe in meaning in the universe."

So, how the heck is that relates to the article above?

It's all about the challenge the assumption of aspiration.

As long as media was invented, and became intertwined with business via ads and pitches, media tries to set a place or a time or state which we should look up to. Beautiful girls, beautiful houses, doing socially approved messages.

In the early days before the nihilism became the force of thought, most people didn't care and heed as the advice was given.

But then we started challenging the ideas of aspiration. Setting up hopeless goals that only makes us depressed, causing stupid calls on buying a house or getting that surgery...

I think I'll let Charlie Brooker explain in his most vehement and my personal favorite episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8MjoB3vgv8

I think the internet has had it with aspiration.

Therefore the rise of the third wave feminist and other thinkers of this century (Yes, I mean the 21st.)

The feminism and other rights group we see now are now just talking about women or gays or whatever... it's more that they are trying to dismantle the bubble the society is given to us.

At least, that's what I think. Do you have thoughts? Please write them below. Thanks.
