In a world overloaded with recycled ideas and empty slogans, Nikoleta Mancheva offers a radical new lens on what it means to be human. Where thinkers like Socrates, Descartes, and Viktor Frankl defined humanity by virtue, reason, and resilience, Nikoleta dares to explore it through a lens few dare to touch: garbage. She draws our gaze to the forgotten corners of civilization-rusty steel bins, barren backstreets, abandoned buildings-and sees in their decay the true essence of the modern human experience.

"The world does not suffer from a lack of ideas. It suffers from their excess," she writes, capturing the heart of her philosophical exploration. In her eyes, we no longer create ideas-we consume them. Words like freedom, equality, love, and faith have been discarded, stripped of their meaning and repackaged into convenient, shallow phrases. Even the oldest philosophies are nothing more than recycled trends, their true power lost in translation.

This collection of essays challenges us to confront the growing emptiness in our intellectual and spiritual lives, and to unearth the truths buried beneath our cultural detritus. Nikoleta Mancheva's sharp, poetic voice invites us to rethink everything we thought we knew, as she uncovers the forgotten and the discarded, revealing a deeper, darker truth about the world we inhabit.
