Great work, Joshua. While I think there is certainly an element to brain-rot that is more so a trend than a conscientious mockery of meaninglessness, I do think you're on to something.
There's a reason trends are trends...Brainrot is primarily an indication of a subconscious longing for meaning rather than a purposeful one. It's a symptom that many in Gen Z don't even recognize themselves, but that almost makes it more true than if they were conscious of it. We can tell who people are not by what they say but by what they do, and Gen Z is not merely saying "we are dissatisfied with relativism and long for objective truth"—they are acting it out.
I think the whole world has been through a preparation. and it's going to be a revival
