👏 My monocausal thesis for increased feeling of instability and uncertainty, vibecession if you will, has been one of increased network interconnectivity.

Hyperconnected networks have faster boom-bust cycles that flow through them, nodes get deluged under information flow and limit processing ability (you are a node), and have lower friction for information flow which creates megafauna.

This makes you feel like you're constantly treading water, the world moves too fast, you're looking out of the train window at a blur. Even if life's good you see how it could not be good. The counterfactual destitution is easy to visualise.
