Why did humans turn into sleepwalkers. It feels like humans have become zombie like. Or robots. Where is that spark, that flame, that curiosity, consciousness and soul that should take humans to the next level.
I think that many people are kinda shltty right now so who knows when things are going to get better

It may well be the first stages of people actually ascending to that next level. No longer is being a slave something that brings fulfillment. Though the system is trying it’s level best to wash people with fake news to confuse us, and AI to destroy our ability to think, imagine and be human.
People are disillusioned, working for money to be allowed to exist is slowly being seen for the scam that it is. They’ve made it virtually impossible to make way in life. Professional careers are ripped open revealing the hot air they always were. Products and hype are losing their grip, people no longer believe that material wealth should define how worthy they are.
In a society that glorifies being a doormat, worships exhuastion and enforces being exploited, the people have lost their zest. Because school was designed to disarm us and destroy self belief, these changes and realizations hit people hard.
They only see parts of the truth as it slowly rises and haven’t yet the emotional adapation to deal with the horrors of what is essentially a sci-fi/almost cyperpunk dystopia. As such people are angry, irritated, exhausted, hopeless, resentful, lost.
The charlatans who built this world of con artists are seeing that people have begun to cotton on. And, it’s why they are upping the anti with politicial noise, civil/national wars, racism, sexism and every other -ism, economic instability and technological singularity. They’re trying to make as much mental/psychological/ and very real chaos, as is sustainably possible. To throw people into bewilderment. Over time their strangle hold is the thing that motivates more of us to disbelieve and eventually boycot their system.

Forgot to quote the author there.
I would say humanity started to turn into sleepwalkers during the Industrial Revolution. From then on, everything done in the name of progress has slowly lead to more dehumanized people. At this point, humanity will be replaced by AI unless humanity’s progress gets a hard reset.
