The Real Crisis of the 21st Century(It’s not AI. It’s not climate. It’s not even war.)
It’s the explosion of the semi-educated class — loud, reactive and dangerously convinced they understand everything.
They’re not fools — far worse.
They’ve read just enough headlines, absorbed just enough ideology and heard just enough slogans to believe they’ve “done the research.”
They don’t question. They repeat.
They don’t seek wisdom. They demand validation.
And worst of all: they’re aggressive, organized and proud of their ignorance.
The 21st century didn’t just inherit nuclear weapons or algorithmic manipulation.It inherited a civilization raised by social media and sedated by half-truths —
Where emotional certainty has replaced intellectual depth.
We are no longer ruled by thinkers, builders or philosophers.
We are ruled by those who shout the loudest — and feel the strongest.
“Desires have outgrown understanding.”
And now we pay the price.
Book of Irritation is not a prophecy.It’s a diagnosis.
