You don’t NEED to solve any fundamental question to ask another questions. It may bring about that question in a human-logical sequence, but there is a N sized 1D array of “fundamental” questions that could be asked and solved without need to for others. Maybe a question of linguistics and how it interacts two ways with the mind and body, but practically we have speculated for thousands of years without really knowing that, or anything. At all.

You can still come up with replicable answers to questions about phenomena you experience without knowing the answer to this.

This is closer, but starting at Nietzsche and beyond the idea of truth and reliably knowing anything about it (and evening the idea of objective knowing) starts to gets jack hammered to bits.

I don't know if it is just me, but I believe it's not and I want to hear /lit/'s opinions.

Do you think we live in bad times?
If yes or not, do you know of books or thinkers that better explain the moment we live in?
And what could possibly be the solution?

I'm anxious as fuck, depressed. My parents are depressed. Each of my friends are having their own mental issues. I know it varies from place to place, but economically we are all scared too. People are talking of sexual and identity issues, environmental issues, migration, some talk about fascism and authoriarian regimes, censorship, hate speech and fear. Whatever your position on these subjects is, it all goes down to something negative. I don't think it was like that 10 or 20 years ago, though some could argue it was always like that. I think people are extremely confused perhaps due to excess of information. Feels like the world encountered itself in the internet and everything we do not accept on each other has taken a central place.
