Those who entered the new form of capitalism as technicians, developers and programmers will probably stay on that job for the end of their lives. They are basically safe living a comfortable life of the middle class. However, there was also some kind of silent fear among them, that their skills will also be replaced with smart machine learning software, capable of programming other software. But the corporation showed a tendency to status quo in that field also. It looks like they don't have an interest in replacing every single human with machine. It was good this way. At least for now.
But the majority of poor people that entered new capitalism as working class, ended up in the most dystopian environment, where their only value was to wander the earth, usually without permanent residence, searching for trash. Global warming crisis damaged the quality of soil and water, so it was hard for them to make their own gardens and farms. The number of animals was also reduced after the global catastrophe, so corporation forbid their killing. The lower class was heavily dependent on the system. They got their own basic portions of food, water, and low-quality healthcare. Hoping that corporation doesn't want to lower their number with it.
Also, a situation in which the world is going to stay without trash one day was their biggest fear. They couldn't upgrade their knowledge and skills to a level of developers and technicians because there was not enough demand for them. New middle-class workers were created out of the same families.
So even if there was a basic supply of food, water, and health care they were getting for free, it was psychologically very hard to live in such a world. They were losing their sense of worth, feeling unvalued by society. Living among trash, in mobile card box houses or similar low and poor conditions. Seeing nothing but a gray filthy world, they almost had no pleasure.
There was chronical and a collective problem of infertility and even impotence among men, so even normal sex was an issue for them. Anonymous blamed corporation even for that, claiming it was an artificial problem.
Limited recording to 33 seconds and limited access to the Internet, with low-quality smartphones they could trade with trash they collected, was sometimes the only form of fun and pleasure.
In that kind of psychological conditions depression, anxiety, psychosis with suicidal tendencies was the common byproduct of such life. That is where the corporation decided to introduce a new type of technology called “extended reality therapy“. The result was an imaginary escape into a better life. The amount of such therapy was also determined by the amount of trash those people will collect.
It quickly became a new addiction. Sometimes one and only meaning.
Only the strongest refused it, trying to make their own natural ways to cope with it.
They were usually part of the Anonymous. And they build their own philosophy around this situation. A philosophy based on thinking of 20th-century philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti.
