That's hardly limited to that demo. Also generally chronic users aren't going to get that existential paranoia you get from casual use
(\s btw)
The question is, can we tolerate flawed people? Can we laugh about it? Can we let them rant and wear that suit from time to time?
I realize I’m probably being patronizing myself by pointing that out. As Bart Simpson once said, “The ironing is delicious.”
― Mark Twain
Basically with the thresholds all lowered one becomes satisfied with things that are objectively lesser quality, less demanding of effort and work. One would be equally satisfied eating junk food as they normally would having eaten some gourmet meal. There's no fire under your feet to hustle or put in the time to need to learn how to cook some truly delicious meal let's say or develop skills that bring longer term satisfaction that takes a while before payoff. Motivation never needs to take off because the cheapest junk already meets ones pleasure and satisfaction needs so why bother.
I didn't perceive things as more profound rather the little voice of anxiety inside by head went away and for the first time in my life I was free to figure out who I was.
