I "love" when rational reason is used as a synonym for "good" or "moral".

Also, depression (as it is with the alphabet-diagnoses and autism) is up because the criteria for having the condition are so vague and general now that it basically amounts to "feel sad a lot".

It is not depression but anomie and alienation that is being felt: that their lives doesn't matter to anyone, and that the world doesn't care whether they live or die, and that they'll never be the popstar, the idol, the Hero but just another nameless faceless eminently replaceable and equal humanoid on the corporate machine.

In older or truer societies depression and the rest, including things like dyslexia or anorexia, are virtually unheard of - because everyone is needed, everyone has a function and everyone matters to someone as as a familymember, a kinsman or one of the same people.

These people need to found a family, to marry and to have children. They need to work with their hands doing real things instead of TikTok and indulge in poseur-ism.

Want to stop feeling depressed? Put yourself in a march-or-die situation. Either way, you'll be cured.
