I am currently in high school. In my experience hardly any kids are religious anymore. They're all nihilistic, have almost no knowledge of ethics or philosophical schools of thought. They're mainly driven by pleasure and pain. Lazy. Scroll dopamine machines all day. Nobody reads. Everyone seemingly feels meaningless, is depressed, anxiety ridden and, for the majority, anti-social. There is a massive amount absurdist humour and they sexualize almost everything. Those 2 things are what I'm most curious about. Most people are probably porn addicts. About half of the boys in my school, especially the lower grades are effeminate and progressive with their political beliefs. Id say roughly 10% of the kids in my school are LGBTQ+, that is to say anything other than 'girl-likes-boy' and 'boy-likes-girl'. I'm very curious about why these are, or at least the nature behind it. I've read psychology books as well as philosophy books. Based on the description my friend gave me of 'the last man' by Nietchze, that concept seems very in tune with my perception of the students in my school. This description is rough but i think you get the idea Just here looking for answers. Thanks9
