If you were forced to carry around one book in your pocket for the rest of your life what would it be? It could be anything. A book of aphorisms, poetry, philosophy, a novel. Anything.

Any books that talk about the concept of young people being NPC's and what causes this? I travel a lot and like to just walk around in cities and chat with people and NPC is the only way to describe zoomers. Their entire being is just twitter one liners. They don't think about anything. They have no original thoughts. They just believe whatever they're told to believe. Whatever it's cool to believe from twitter. It's like talking to a cardboard box. They don't feel human. I'm not saying like I'm some fucking intellectual. I'm a retard too it's not about being smart. It's about having original thoughts. Not having strong beliefs because someone on twitter wrote it. Asking basic questions about anything they talk about and they will go "idk" immediately. Like one girl goes I'm a philosophy major I love philosophy!. I ask "What type of philosophy do you like?" and she goes "idk". This is how every conversation with a zoomer goes. Probably 90% of zoomers are heavily political. Ask them a basic question about their candidate of choice and they will have no idea what you're talking about. Ask them what single payer healthcare entails. They have no clue. Their entire being is based on twitter one liners. They march on the streets for something they have no idea about. Everything is aesthetics
