The World Is Spinning the Wrong Way

Every generation says it: “The world is spinning the wrong way.”

Our parents said it about us, our grandparents said it about them. And now? We’re saying it again—to our own children. Except this time, it feels like the spin has a turbo boost.

It’s not just that people are “getting worse.” It’s that bad is becoming the standard—and the speed of acceptance is wild.

Thanks to fame + business + tech, the formula is simple:

1. A famous person does something shocking.
2. It’s everywhere—ads, interviews, social feeds.
3. Fans copy it.
4. It becomes a trend.
5. Congratulations—the new normal has arrived.

The scary part? Businesses design it this way. They don’t dump the full “evil product” on you all at once. They feed it in doses—slightly edgier lyrics, a little more skin in the clothes, a hint of rebellion in the vibe—until people stop noticing. That’s the micro-dose of evil we slowly accept, until it doesn’t feel wrong anymore.

Take fashion. A century ago, you needed layers just to step outside. Then hemlines rose, jeans sagged, crop tops ruled, and now… couture lingerie gets rebranded as a “dress.” Some blame it on climate change—hotter days, lighter clothes. Sounds logical… except if it were really climate-driven, the materials should have evolved too: breathable, eco-friendly, cool on the body and the planet. But in mainstream fashion? Still the same synthetic, non-sustainable fabrics. Which makes you wonder—are they solving heat… or selling heat? Give it a few more decades and we’re back to Eve—leaf optional. Little by little, clothes are designed for profit—profit as in money, and profit as in exposure.

And the celebrity machine? They wrap it all up as “self-expression” or “empowerment.” But let’s be honest—sex sells, controversy sells, and shock sells even more.

Businesses know it. Celebrities play along. And society? We clap, repost, and buy. In the end, we’ve become carbon copies chasing the same staged “cool.” Society has lost something real—like a can of food with a flashy label that’s actually expired. You open it and—yayay!—rotten inside. Funny how we still call them “goods”… when they’re really bad.

Older generations aren’t “dinosaurs” for noticing. They’re just watching the moral compass get dismantled and replaced with a shiny, trending one that always points to profit. The world spins—but the spin isn’t natural anymore. It’s being pushed. And if you call it out? You’re outdated, irrelevant, a killjoy.

But maybe dinosaurs aren’t the ones out of place. Maybe they’re just the last ones still facing the right direction.
