idk, it's interesting how from one perspective, we live in an ultra-hedonistic society, as long as it doesnt harm anyone else you have total freedom to satisfy your desires. it's like a kind of democratised romantic individualism. but that coexists with mass surveillance capitalism, everything has to be incredibly safe, we're obsessed with being healthy. it's not the constant orgies and binges you might expect
bc theyre not just hard to reconcile, are they. it's more like theyre total opposites. why is it that in a society where we have the ultimate consumerist freedom to satisfy our desires, our desires seem to have abandoned us
our desires, our desires seem to have abandoned us

What work is "our" doing here? A lot of people are satisfying their desires through ultimate consumerist freedom, it's just that some other more existential questions open up on the other side of satisfied desires.
