Is this extreme anxiety for social uprising really living though? Do you study because you are genuinely interested in it, because it is your passion, because you want to ascend humanity, or because you "must" to be respected by your peers and to have some money to live a life that projects status? Is this really the mark of the superior man?

I don't know, you see how primitive humans live in the jungles of Borneo or in the Amazonas and you start understanding what true life really is; living in commune with your family and closest relatives, in the outside, no stress, a bit of hunting, a bit of recollecting, a bit of sowing, most of the day socializing and playing, building stuff, exploring the outskirts, teaching your kids, breathing pure air, no noise... Yeah they will not conquer Mars but they are probably happier, and in the end, they live lives as long as ours (if you ignore infant mortality).

I think that modern society has sacrificed happiness for relentless progress and increased productivity, and even if you make it and win a lot of money, one has to wonder if it was actually worth it. If all of this is worth it, civilization as a whole, especially this decadent new iteration of the Western Civilization. The only thing that can save us from the hell we have created (since the neolithic) is some kind of new trans-humanist paradigm, where we dramatically increase our lifespans, health problems become a thing of the past, basic earnings and basic necessities are covered publicly (through a mechanized workforce that pays for it), societies become safer, less stressful, we create less crowded environments and cities, pollution decreases, etc.

Instead the path we are choosing is the Africanization and Brazilification of the world, not by returning to the jungle, but from the perspective of creating a dystopian crime-riddled favela hellscape where an ugly and unhealty mulatto society live at the shadow of an international economic elite.
