some underlying reasons people are mad:

- eth is down from most days since the start of 2021
- farcaster has not grown as fast as some expected
- the feed makes it look like everyone's getting rich
- this "cycle" has not happened for eth or its ecosystem
- there is a lot of uncertainty in the global economy
- the unpredictability of the future including ai is scary
- most jobs lack fulfillment yet are done for the money
- social media makes it look like everyone is happier
- remote work got people living further from loved ones
- too much time on the phone zaps one's attention span
- addictions to many psychological drugs are normalized

Market volatility, lack of growth, social comparison, economic uncertainty, fear of the unknown, dissatisfaction with work, social media illusions, distance from loved ones, phone addiction, normalized drug dependencies
