Question: Please form the words of the ennui that makes up modern life. An expression of the ebbs and ebbs of our capitalistic system siphoning the livelihood from the other to fulfill the proven potential for the elites. An encapsulating system that punishes nonparticipation while sequestering the world's wonder through a self-propagating cycle that could only be sustainable in a world where sentience is an unlimited resource and the value we place on its experience inconsequential. With understanding comes acceptance. With acceptance hopefully comes change.

The ennui of modern life often stems from the relentless grind of our capitalistic system, which seems to siphon the vitality and potential from the masses to fulfill the ambitions and enrichment of a privileged few. This encapsulating system not only punishes those who refuse to participate but also sequesters the world's wonders, entrapping them in a self-propagating cycle that perceives sentience as an infinite resource and deems the quality of our experiences as inconsequential. In recognizing and understanding this dynamic, there is a hope—a guarded hope—that acceptance of these realities might lead to change. Change born of a collective awakening to the dissonance between our lives' intrinsic value and the hollow quantifications imposed upon us. To alter this course, we must first confront the truth, accept its starkness, and then strive to reimagine a future where human potential is not merely a resource to be exploited, but a treasure to be nurtured.
