Apathy

  • ^ Csikszentmihalyi, M., Finding Flow, 1997.
  • Apathy (also called perfunctoriness) is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, and concern. Apathy is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, and/or passion. An apathetic individual has an absence of interest in or concern about emotional, social, spiritual, philosophical and/or physical life and the world.

    The apathetic may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life. An apathetic person may also exhibit insensibility or sluggishness. In positive psychology, apathy is described as a result of the individual feeling they do not possess the level of skill required to confront a challenge (i.e. "Flow"). It may also be a result of perceiving no challenge at all (e.g. the challenge is irrelevant to them, or conversely, they have learned helplessness). Apathy may be a sign of more specific mental problems such as schizophrenia or dementia. However, apathy is something that all people face in some capacity. It is a natural response to disappointment, dejection, and stress. As a response, apathy is a way to forget about these negative feelings. This type of common apathy is usually only felt in the short-term and when it becomes a long-term or even lifelong state is when deeper social and psychological issues are most likely present.

    Biography

    Early career

    In 1991 Bromley joined Demigodz a local rap collective that included Celph Titled, 7L & Esoteric, EL Fudge, Louis Logic and others. In the period 2000 to 2002 he released a number solo singles that included “Compatible”, “Just Begun”, “School”, and “Ain’t Nuttin’ Nice" released through Bronx Science Records. Bromley made his album debut when he appeared on the Jedi Mind Tricks album The Psycho Social in 1997. He featured on the tracks "The Three Immortals", "Omnicron" and "The Apostle's Creed". By mid-1997, the Demigodz collective fractured and Apathy together with producer Open Mic self-released the Sureshot Affair EP in 1998. He continued to collaborate under the Demigodz moniker and released the The Godz Must Be Crazy EP in 2002 on Ill Boogie Records. The two-disc It's the Bootleg, Muthafuckas! Vol. 1 was released in 2003 and collected the earlier Demigodz material, while in 2004 Where's Your Album?!! brought together some of the previously released solo releases. Both appeared on the Demigodz label. After this second EP, Bromley signed on to Atlantic Records, but left the label in 2009 due to creative disagreements.

    Apathy

    by: Ministry

    We tried assassinations, it's the same
    Demonstrations and violence but it's still the same to me
    Economic sanctions, it's the same
    Tried dragging their names through mud but it's still the same to me
    But it's the same, but it's the same
    But it's the same, but it's the same
    Down here in the condemnations, it's the same
    Protected by the laws they make, well, it's still the same to me
    What about the world's reaction, it's the same
    The only problem is too many factions and it's still the same to me
    But it's the same, but it's the same
    But it's the same, but it's the same
    Where the hell is the population?
    All quiet for a generation
    Whatever happened to the human race?
    Can't you see the enemy here is you?
    But it's you, but it's you, but it's you
    But it's you, but it's you
    In the Tory or the Labor camps, well, it's the same
    Republican or Democrat, well, it's still the same to me
    Go to Lenin or Marx, it doesn't matter
    Starve the people while the rich get fatter
    Can't you see they got us where they want us?
    Can't you see the enemy here is you?
    But it's you
    But it's you
    But it's you
