The first time I encountered this study was at University. As part of my philosophy course, obviously an elective, on my scientific career, I wondered if I was losing my time with this lecture. But, as time has passed and I get older, I tend to go back to it and reflect profoundly.

How my generation interacts with each other in matters of relationships and love is a complex house of cards. Every little detail tends to unfold the other. The way I can analyze and comprehend, even my own behavior at times, throughout this essay, is an exercise I keep challenging myself with, ever now and then.

Truly, recommended, especially any millennial or gen z.

Todo lo que es vivir entre la espada y la pared en esta sociedad orientada al rendimiento.

Derivative and pseudoscientific postmodern posturing at its best. Every sentence strives to be as edgy as possible and yet the message can be boiled down to “our society makes everything a merchandise and that makes it joyless”. There you have it. Now you don’t need to read this book.

Adamant on keeping the muddying-the-waters-to-pretend-deepness tradition alive.
