Not acid, examination of society.

Modern society is engineered specifically to squelch self motivation through a combination of long hours and grueling work, followed by distracting individuals from achievement through omnipresent internet-delivered entertainment. Any attempt at self motivation, where one tries to learn, grow, or break out and attempt something new is opposed, both directly and systematically.

People have been beaten into submission on this point that they've given up and have just accepted "taking it all in" and "finding themself" as axioms and permanent states of living, rather than seeing them as what they are, permanent states of inactivity and consumption used as a way to make selling things easier

In such a state, it's not what the thing is, just convincing the consumer that your thing is part of the "finding oneself" journey. Could be real estate, art, tuba lessons, it doesn't matter. The thing is irrelevant at all points of the transaction, only the idea and marketing.
