The constant pressure to sell ourselves on every possible platform has produced its own brand of modern anxiety.
// Today in »#capitalism: the bad, the worse and the ugly«
Great piece by Ruth Whippman on:
Our collective aim to follow our passions and live our dream does not fit the economic reality anymore. We set ourselves up to failure and silmutanously connect our self-worth to our personal success.
And in the end, the resulting “market-driven human interaction is making us paranoid, jittery, self-critical and judgmental“.
Research by Zoe Murphy from BBC supports the observation, that in Gen Z
“many see themselves as entrepreneurs, activists or brands in their own right, and leverage digital platforms to suit their own ends.”
And as Ruth Whippman has shown, this strongly affects our mental health in the end.
