With political sentiment polarized between a drive to increase government regulation or eradicate it, a majority of people surveyed now barely care.An absence of governmental intervention in business is perceived to lead to various apocalyptic crises, subsequent bailouts, oil slicks and toxic waste. Coincidentally, organs of government regulation seem to behave more like limbs of commercial interests, begging the question: At what point do we cease weeping, simply shrug our shoulders and return to something that doesn't make us as depressed or force us to think? Thankfully, that time has finally come.
The new golden age is both exhilarating and perilous, yet ironically characterized by a yawning zeitgeist. The modern crusader's pinnacle of activism has been relegated to moving on to something more interesting and less dismal.
Those surveyed had chosen to forgo attempting to fix the 'broken vehicle' in which they are traveling, and instead steering it directly into a wall in a symbolic act of desperation to destroy and renew existence as we know it. Skipping a few steps in the hierarchical pyramid of human evolution, an enlightened and indifferent mass are actualizing their potential to not give a fuck.
There is no scope for the kingdom of higher ends, and while 80% of humanity subsists on less than $10 a day, those who are not required to give a fuck consider themselves truly fortunate.
