“Our modern society is [a] “It’s convenient, comfortable, fragile, and hardly survived on the back of these self-promoted promises,” he said, “and forgive my generalization, but in the modern world we are busy worshipping the sincerity of society, Self-worship centered on celebrities, invertebrate politicians, clickbaits, social media influencers.”

“From my point of view, these people often live comfortably, and many of our real heroes are through muddy drugs and never give real thanks.”

Anthony announced in a YouTube video on October 29, 2024 that he was leaving the music industry to focus on the “travel department”, and he also shared his concerns about how social media and the digital age can affect society.

“The bad thing is our lack of control and agency lack of these systems, not realizing that we are programming and our culture is commoditizing,” Anthony said. “So the more time we spend on these digital information systems, We are increasingly returning to one of our fixed internet accomplices. In other words, the more time we spend online, the more commoditized our culture, the more our culture, the more our psychology, The more vulnerable it becomes.”
