Dmitry Boldyrev: The Existential Vacuum of the 2020s. Where to Find Meaning When Old Anchors No Longer Work

The modern habit of “consuming meaning” in the form of short-form advice is carefully critiqued in this piece. The central idea: meaning is not downloaded — it is assembled from what we do, choose and endure. The author explains why quick answers sometimes only deepen the void: they never become personal experience. The practical takeaway is that small actions in the direction of one’s values work more reliably than sweeping declarations. In an era of informational noise and accelerating change, the path to meaning runs not through a viral quote but through lived, deliberate choice.
