I was thinking about grown people. I remembered some days ago, when I went to the cafeteria, I watched them, I often do. They sit there, watch the football channel, have beers, have a straight face, toy with their phones, talk to their table buddies...
They all behave in a way I can't really describe, I can't find the wording. I can only say it's an atmosphere that feels... dull, boring, robotic. A drawing would help me describe it better, but I haven't found any accurate image.
I go there almost everyday, I see different people but the atmosphere never changes. It's the same feeling in the streets as well.
There's not a single person who doesn't drink alcohol in there. No, they don't get drunk, nor I hate them, but it's always alcohol or coffee. Mostly alcohol, beer to be specific. When a family reunites, the parents drink alcohol while kids drink coke
My take on it, is that when one becomes "adult", all the pressures/etc start to take their toll at some point. So they take drugs/stimulants to handle that high stress, which is ever-present. And these drugs/stimulants further exacerbate things, so that it dulls their minds, so then they can only talk of
ultra-simple stuff (ie with ~zero real thinking involved). But even before these chemicals, their minds are burnt-out. so whenever they can, they try to "chill-out" (have a break from the constant stress), which means no serious, interesting conversation, just easy, no-stress, non-left-brain, most feel-good (to them) conversation.
And drugs/chemicals & junk foods & stress & overworked/unhealthy lifestyle, seriously reduces ones creativity, passion, enthusiasm, etc ... and means they talk more of fairly extremist stuff, as that's all that stimulates/soothes them - stuff like partying, sex, drugs, sports ... and other stuff that involves very little thinking (they can just blurt it out without thinking at all; =small-talk?)
