Part 2 shifts to a critical discussion of moral values and societal attitudes. It addresses the degradation of moral standards and the rise of individuals who gain false reputations, while also reflecting on the aspirations and challenges of younger generations. The tendency for people to embellish their self-image and believe in their own false testimonials is analyzed as part of psychological and societal mechanisms. The dangers of overly hasty and unprepared writing are discussed, as well as the challenges faced by smaller authors in a competitive environment. The text critiques moral fraudsters and their societal impact, examines the possibilities and uncertainties of future generations, and concludes with an in-depth exploration of modern society's collective ambitions and challenges.
