Nothing ever happens.
A weird way to say you believe everything on the internet.
Good analysis of the "nothing ever happens" Team Apathy trend.
It's not that nothing ever happens, it's that attention-spans are now a commodity and when you read so many headlines meant to capture that attention span like, "SCIENTISTS HORRIFIED BY STRUCTURES DISCOVERED UNDER MARS" or "EYEBALL PLANET FOUND IN SPACE" (both actual headlines I saw recently) and then it turns out to be just normal stories about science or the like, you start to feel like nothing is real, and if nothing is real then nothing really happens.
If you turn off your media feed and just seek out news on the things you're interested in without letting the algorithm drag you around by the ballsack, you will be smarter and appreciate the amazing, terrifying fantastic and fascinating things that happen every day.
