Yeah, no one feels sad anymore. To busy trying to be right. We are truly fucked. Empathy is what made us human, but we don't fight against the forces of nature anymore just against our selves, and you can't have empathy when you must dehumanize anyone that isn't you.
Shame used to be a tool that could get people in line too. But we packaged that up and used it to sell more and people don't even feel that anymore. The westen worlds have bled ourselves dry of emotions to the point that we bottle them up and sell them back to people that want them. Incredible.
Maybe it was the lead, who knows? But we are definitely up shits creek now and we don't have a paddle to steer with.
