[QUOTE="911, post: 1240991, member: 11221"] That's a totally wrong take, it totally misses the mark. Young women and men in America weren't committing suicide and getting depressed at the same rates 50 years ago, back when material abundance was at least as great as it today, and the world and urban environment were actually safer than today. The difference is not that the world is too safe and too materially rich, the difference is that the social environment is significantly poorer today than it was 50 years ago. And this decline is not a consequence of material satiation, as college debt, spiraling housing costs, underemployment and lack of career prospects are recent problems that have made the economic prospects of young people more precarious than those of their predecessors. It's the cultural changes that are creating depressed young women and men, and those changes have been deliberately created by social engineering. [/QUOTE]
