Marcus Aurelius conquered the known world and discovered it meant nothing. The Google engineer worth $50 million who quit to become a meditation teacher. The McKinsey partner who walked out mid-presentation. The neurosurgeon who stared at her diplomas wondering why saving lives stopped feeling meaningful. This isn't burnout. It isn't depression. It's pattern recognition. By 2025, the pattern was accelerating. AI eliminated the survival game. Abundance made achievement optional. And millions discovered that winning feels like losing when the game itself becomes visible as arbitrary. NOISIENT documents what's emerging through the stories of four people: a Shanghai executive, a Mumbai lawyer, a data analyst, and a software engineer. It maps the stages - satisfaction glitch, void, dissolution, emergence - not as spiritual journey but as biological adaptation to changed environmental conditions. This isn't self-help. It's how nature is pushing humanity towards evolution. For those already sensing the water's changing. Already feeling their gills struggle. Already wondering if there's air beyond the waves. What happens to consciousness when survival stops being the organizing question? What emerges when achievement reveals itself as the wrong mountain? What becomes possible when human worth stops requiring work to prove it? The pattern is universal. The trigger is historical. The timeline is now.
