The NeverEnding Story Was Warning Us About Apathy

What if imagination isn’t escapism—but survival? 🐉 The NeverEnding Story hits harder as adults than it ever did as kids.

Intro

On this Wistful Wednesday episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, we revisit The NeverEnding Story—not as a children’s fantasy, but as a blueprint for surviving grief, apathy, and a world slowly losing meaning.

From MTV’s cultural collapse to Fantasia’s “Nothing,” this conversation unpacks why stories once trusted kids with big emotions—and why that trust feels rare today. We explore imagination as resistance, creativity as survival, and why apathy—not evil—is the true villain of our time.

Highlights

✨ Why The NeverEnding Story raised an emotionally unsupervised generation
✨ The “Nothing” as apathy, hopelessness, and modern burnout
✨ Gmork, control, and why hopeless people are easier to manage
✨ Jungian psychology, tarot symbolism, and the Empress as creative source
✨ The meta-twist that turns you into part of the story
✨ Why protecting imagination is as vital as protecting air
