The current world easily leads people into a sense of nihilism.

The world is increasingly no longer a whole, as geopolitical tensions tear apart unfathomable gaps, and the once-global ideals of globalization have become fragmented, shattered in the name of interests, fear, and control.

At the same time, humanity is addicted to the pleasure of instant gratification, like a collective falling into some sweet illusion. Dopamine has become synonymous with divinity, as social interaction, finance, emotion, and monetization are blended into an invisible yet powerful system, like soft shackles gently constraining each individual.

In this world, trust has become a luxury. In the high-frequency trading game of Crypto, founders jumping ahead of investors has become a reasonable operation, and no one talks about moral boundaries anymore. The pace is too fast, fast enough that no sense of responsibility can grow in time.

Before us lies ruins, and behind us, delusion. The only light seems to come from AI.

But if we think further, when AI perhaps becomes the true ruler, we will coexist with machines in an indescribable structure. What will the new order look like afterward? Or will it just be another form of chaos and dependency?

The fog is getting thicker, and we can only guess as we walk, like in the darkness before dawn, holding onto a vague prayer: don’t let all of this truly be meaningless.
