Dysphoria arrives through disconnection––– – through desynchronization of the mind and the biophysical background–_ triggering unease and distresss / and \ generating an electrifying state of nervous anxxiety and anticipation anticipation anticipation anticipation that rushes the mind forward––––– Dysphoria as the restlessness feeling of our contemporary times’
The feeling that being still still is not being at all_ You either acccelerate or disappear
Dysphoria as aconcentration mode focused on ongoing consumption consumption off speed–––– A continuous drive for momentum.
An impulse feeding on tension / feeding on discontent / feeding on unlimited desire_
A paradoxical longing longing to proceed
