Exceptional work framing hyper-capitalism as a psychological crisis, not just economic. The parallel between Juvenal's "bread and circuses" and today's algorithm-fed distractions is spot on. I've watched friends grind themselves down chasing credentials that barely covered the debt they incurred getting them. What gets me is how the system makes people beleive isolation is their fault rather than a feature of commodified existence.

Well said! It's definitely a topic worthy of much more exploration. Thanks for reading!
