Let's talk about this fucking age we live in

Let's talk about this fucking age we live in.
Specifically, our human institutions.
There's appears to be no place for genuine philosophy any more. Actually, I'll extend this and say that there's no place for genuine humanitarianism.
Maybe in the past there was a place where a person who's primary project in life is to uncover the truth about reality could go, and be at home. Maybe there wasn't. But that's what the medieval university appears to me to be anyhow.
I want to grab somebody on the street by the shoulders and say "what do you believe."
I feel that way because there's no place for this to happen, it's always an intrusion in society to ask about life, everybody lives performing all these works but the moment somebody whispers 'why' it's suddenly perceived as meta, not welcome in the workplace, or the library, or the schools. There's always some productive activity people are engaged in in their public lives to which real thought is an interruption. But to me everything else is an interruption. What worse is there than to pass through life not realizing what any of it was? I feel like philosophy is the most crucial, life-or-death struggle that it keeps me awake at night, a fact that means I will never not have bags under my eyes, and will never properly habitually settle into a sustainable, productive routine of daily living and working. Why is there no public space for my sorrows? I spend so much effort on it after all, modern science ought to be able to convert it into electricity at the very least. I want to be understood by other people, and not posthumously either.
The coming generations won't be able to fill the gap left by the baby boomers, the introspectives have no place in the society their fathers created. The internet augments this, by giving them a place, like here. And so we learn to be habitually docile, unpreductive. Although sometimes intelligent, intelligence can't benefit us if there's no place for it, and if there were we couldn't apply ourselves. What will happen to the world when every worker bee stops to ponder or sometimes when he feels crushed by these questions does not go out at all? We need a new basis for all these works we do, there has to be another paradigm shift, or another large historically significant dialectic like the french revolution. We can't go on in this way where the focus has been shifted from man and God to the world man created.

You sound like a self defeatist pussy. There are places to go be a true "humanitarian." You're just too much of a coward. That place is called outside btw.
You're probably young and too scared to talk to strangers, otherwise you'd realize that people are open books. People will incriminate themselves at any opportunity and all you've got to do is be their confession box. I dare you to go out and cold approach 10 strangers tomorrow and see what kind of crazy shit they'll tell you. You want to know why people do shit? Ask them.

You're retarded.
Just wanted to let you know, fella.

Kill yourself faggot, I bet you can't even read

I just read some autistic reply by a very very mad user. Lmao.

This is god-tier pseud shit. You've never earnestly tried to do any of the stuff you talk about and are blaming society for your lack of ambition.

You think that 100 years ago most people wanted to discuss the whys of existence? Fuck no they didn't because on average they were uneducated morons.

Get the fuck over yourself and go outside and actually try to engage with people rather than feeling so fucking superior to everyone because they're not on your level.

Humanism is dead m8

Try object-oriented ontology

Go to bed, zen master sperglord.

I don't disagree, but at the same time I think OP is justified when he says that the modern world is becoming more and more difficult for an introspective. The world seems to be trending ever faster towards a favoring of more "external" forms of thinking, something like pure processing power, independent of the ability to even understand one's own processing in the first place. I think that the humanities has fallen in part for this trend, and that a lot of the increasing need to create "complex" works of art is almost a reflection of an inferiority complex towards the sciences, which bests the humanities in this ability for complex and abstract emotionless thought. The easiest causes to assign to this trend would be capitalism and the rise of the sciences, which create a sort of compounding desire to "out process" the others in this sort of external, emotionless, calculative way in order to beat others in the game of capitalism and utilitarianism, which is sort of like a modern-day test of strength and manhood and superficial self-worth, which, as the most automatically visceral reflection of it, ends up affecting even the deepest among us. If you don't play by the game, or are slowed down by your own introspections (how often have you heard the person who "thinks too much" instead of just "acting and getting stuff done"), then you feel emasculated and lose out, are placed lower of course on the superficial rungs of society, which I think people are more affected by than they care to admit. BUT, these things exist only as general trends that I see, not inescapable realities, and so I do agree with you when you say that OP is being a little bitch and most likely blaming just trying to get some special snowflake points and blaming his pseudness on the modern milieu. OP, don't fall prey to societal forces, because that is what little bitches do.
