Children of parody and nihilism
It is nice to be noticed and respected. To become suchlike you have to put in a lot of effort and effort. Maybe.
According to many philosophers, the world has entered a period in which there was a Roman Empire once. The world of dreams.
The dreams we find ourselves in today are a mixture of the Coronavirus pandemic and a society in which everything must be game.
If something is settled, difficult, hard to understand then people will not be interested. Of course.
One of the most famous psychologists and psychiatrists, Carl Gustav Jung, explained human behavior through archetypes that we can still observe today.
According to his thinking, the collective or transpersonal unconscious in the individual is the foundation of the personality and has the most powerful effect; it is a storehouse of general development and a hidden memory inherited from the inherited past of mankind.
Because the new generations born in the digital age cannot perceive the world outside of mobile phones, television, and social networks, their personality is created exclusively through the internet culture.
The capital part of Jung’s study of the psyche instead of the ego is the Self. The ego follows the Self and the ego is only a small part of human psychology.
The ego is a problem and a hint to the modern man who generally understands the term “ego” which is the cause — why it behaves in a certain way.
We often hear someone say, “I used to have a big ego.” However, Jung sees things differently.
Jung argued that many mental disorders are born because the self is where its potentials can be realized, not in the ego.
Through the process of individuation, the individual accepts the repressed parts of his psyche (according to Jung again) and accepts himself.
But what kind of people are we today and does man accept himself in any form? In a time of meme images, viral videos, excessive sexuality (obscenity), as well as constant nihilism, young people can’t even look for deeper thought, only go into simply ridiculing someone’s attempt at intellect.
While many create content that has no value and is empty and redundant, it is ironic that such people have a large number of fans.
That means that no one is saved from irony, parody, and rude sarcasm. Fair in a way; however, when everything goes in only one direction, like parody today, true creation dies out.
The speed of data change prevented most young people from having a better concentration.
That is why pictures, short texts have become tempting. But not just ordinary images but nihilistic — ironic, mocking, which will ridicule every part of society.
This archetype of behavior can be re-explained again by Jung because he explained human individuation through specified patterns.
Cultural heritage is currently a parody. Because young people, also middle-aged people, can use the Internet as the most accessible thing to gather knowledge — they spread, as reality shows spread (because stupidity is more comfortable to absorb) — parody, ridicule of social opportunities and contemporaries.
Now, everyone seems to live (after completing a shift at work or teaching at school) through some form of sarcasm and parody.
An excessive amount of parody has led to the creation of an army of people who, with sarcasm and irony, point to the problems of today’s society, but are unable to offer any solution.
Unfortunately, this text is also a consequence of that. Noticing that there is a parody doesn’t help anyone because it’s so obvious.
