Why do young people seem to see through everything now?


Fake understanding:
Scrolling through hundreds of short videos a day, covering military industry, history, agriculture, gaming, entertainment, borderline content, selling products.
Putting down the phone, feeling empty, thinking you've seen through everything.
Real understanding:
Working hard for ten years, only to find that without connections, you weren't promoted by your superiors, scoring over 600 on exams, and realizing you can't find a job after graduation.
Saving and being frugal to maintain a relationship with your girlfriend, only to find out she cheated on you, children want to be raised but parents are gone, regretting and remorseful every day.
With the internet and short videos developed, it feels like you can live a whole life in your mind. But unfortunately, it's all fake—your body remains in place, your dreams haven't started, your mind is confused, and your body is exhausted.
You give up your subjective initiative, passively accepting information input, becoming a small heart or thumb on the path to internet fame.
You never try to change the current situation, yet expect the situation to change itself.
You haven't truly seen through anything; you've just given up on yourself.
