Hasnain says:

Lots to ponder in this one.

“What's taboo is to say that the source is the system we inhabit, not our personal inability to manifest god-like powers. The system works fine for the winners who twirl the dials on the narrative control machinery, and they're appalled when they suffer some mild inconvenience when the peasantry doing all the work for them break down and quit.

A tsunami of burnout and quitting, both quiet and loud, is on the horizon, but it's taboo to recognize it or mention it. That the system is broken because it breaks us is the taboo that is frantically enforced at all levels of narrative control.”
