The Burnout Society: Are We All Just Running in Circles?

⏳ Why does time feel so fragmented? Why are we always rushing, yet going nowhere?

Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han believes modern life has trapped us in a burnout society, where time has lost its depth and meaning. We don’t experience time anymore—we just consume it. Like Sisyphus, we’re endlessly chasing productivity, but at what cost?

In this episode, we break down:
✅ How capitalism and hyperactivity have shattered our perception of time
✅ The difference between deep, meaningful time vs. “atomized” time
✅ Why Han calls for a return to contemplation (vita contemplativa)
✅ How rituals and slowness can restore a sense of purpose

🚀 Are we doomed to live in fragmented time, or can we reclaim a deeper, more fulfilling existence? Listen now and rethink the way you experience life.
