How to Get Away from the Crazy
Most people feel it long before they can name it — the quiet sense that something fundamental is off in the way we live, work, and organize our lives. We move through routines that drain us, systems that demand obedience, and structures that promise progress while hollowing out the very things that make us human. Beneath the noise, a deeper truth keeps pressing through the cracks — that much of what we’ve accepted as normal is anything but natural, and the cost of participating grows heavier by the year. This piece is an attempt to trace that unease back to its source, to examine the mechanisms that keep us compliant, and to consider what becomes possible once we stop pretending the modern world is built on anything real.
