The Holocene has ended and the Anthropocene has begun. What we do now will profoundly affect the next thousand years and beyond. You, by simply existing in this era, bear responsibility for what comes next.

Never before has humanity lived in isolating megacities, vast urban sprawls where social division is clearest in the conflict between capital and labor. Entire teenage populations have vanished, erased by a mysterious event similar to the 4.2-kiloyear climatic disruption. Only young adults remain.

We travel vast distances daily, relying on public transit systems whose reliability varies widely across the globe. In many places, especially in the Global South, which has been at the epicenter of neocolonial exploitation by the Global North, public transit is the only thing holding community life together. But you, the viewer, live in the Global North, right?

You clicked this video seeking guidance on how to make friends. The truth? We don't have answers. Friendship is a product of nature and circumstance, forged in a world that no longer exists as it once did. We evolved living in tribes of 50 to 150 people, where relationships were simple and constant. Now, forced into new social constructs and fractured networks, we face cliches and uncertainties left unresolved by absent peers. The generations before you, those teenagers who vanished, did not and could not guide you.

If you are an intellectual, someone who has always known more than others around you, the answer is even bleaker. Social bonds are not built on knowledge. You live in a world indifferent to your insight.

Be grateful, if nothing else, that you live in the Anthropocene and not the Holocene. Yet even here, among your classmates watching this video, the reality is cold and clear: they do not care. They have their own friends, their circles, their alliances.

The conclusion is simple and harsh: they will leave you friendless, alone. Your worth is not recognized; you are deemed worthless. In the Anthropocene, a brutal truth persists, only the rich, the popular, and the masses matter.

And so you, the viewer, are worthless. Because the ultimate judgment falls not from some distant force but from the very peers who share your space. The people around you, your classmates, have already decided: you do not matter.
