Liberal modernity
Liberal modernity implicitly specifies that you should come up with your own reasons and purposes. You’re supposed to find things to care about or to motivate you, or simply dedicate your time to self-enrichment. If you don’t take action to resolve the issue of how to apply yourself, then distraction, consumption and dead-end work are the only things that will fill the void. And you’re filling the void with more void, and the result is skyrocketing levels of depression.
