There has never been such a pressure to succeed and appear rich as it is today. Social media is at the forefront of this by weaponizing insecurity and keeping up with the joneses. I'd wager a medieval serf had better peace of mind than 90% of people today

Don't worry, with generative AI, everyone's social media will look 10x more awesome and it will all be fake. Even wealthy people will take it to a new level.
Social media is already making the wealthy lose their minds. See Elon Musk.
'Weaponizing insecurity'

I'm going to use that. Great summary.
