Ирина Пименова – No Names, No Signs. Technology I Virus I Life (страница 7)

Others said that in recent months he had become too malleable and frivolous. He could be talked into any adventure, including the dubious pleasure of a crazy flight and the illusory possibility of surviving after it. Some people, as always, looked for the roots in glut. After all, dad is rich.

Nikolay Nikolaevich was shocked by this event. He was familiar with him, and he gave the impression of an intelligent guy. And, despite the tragedy of this suicide, which in essence in a modern calm and prosperous society has long become savagery, it could not be called atypical. Here and there, news came about the strange behavior of individual or small groups of people, when, in fact, manipulating them, one could achieve anything. Of course, the media did not present this fact in this way. For them, there was no connection between the high level of accidents and deep changes in social relations, but Nikolay Nikolayevich saw the rotten roots of the decline of consciousness. The reasons were not clear.

People, becoming too frivolous, either fell into the hands of cunning, far-sighted swindlers, or showed habits far from being characteristic of a healthy society, but, on the contrary, destroying the basic concepts of humanity. Some misfortune struck the minds of people. Living well, they increasingly desired to please their ego, gravitated towards permissiveness and demanded absurd pleasures. Separate social movements demanded the legalization of brain stimulants. Heroin and other substances that people injected into their veins a long time ago were no longer popular – too difficult, just stimulate certain areas of the brain for pleasure even to death. Others demanded a ban on the extraction of Arctic herring, which was understandable, at least for vegetarians.
