>33% of US university students have anxiety
>40% are depressed
Why is this happening?
These are people with seemingly the whole world in front of them.
They didn't grow up in poverty in some shithole like Bangladesh but in a safe first world country, with an Iphone and access to the internet and education.
What the fuck is going on?
government/psychiatric profession/big pharma is pathologising people.
Pumped full of drugs and false hope and desires. Depressed because they realize that they will never have a life like what is shown on TV. We no longer try to prove it to our selves but try to take on the world, and the world doesn't give a fuck
>false hope and desires
You sound dumb. Stopped reading there.
And it get much worse after school.

Question.
Answer.
How dense are you? You just like everyone else above double digit iq should know the world is clown level over 9000. Why wouldn't you be depressed?
based illiterate
Most of them are probably women.
They are studying and preparing for a 40 years long career instead of having children
you also sound dumb
Pump them full of fear so they vote for an increasingly powerful government
>thinking it has anything to do with the access to material goods
they are fucking lonely. that's their problem. shitty to non-existent communities. no prospect of long-term commitment and marriage. social media makes just more lonely and people are too selfish in general. they're all idiots who live in their own bubble.
Society is corrupted to the core and we're reaching the tipping point soon.
This has happened before many times throughout history and the results will be the same, civil war/unrest, genocide, economic collapse. The only difference is that the entire Western world will be going down in flames this time and it will be well documented.

>Why is this happening?
Think of a little boy that was being reprimanded by the school teacher because; "he broke the rules and he should know better!" Now this imperfect explanation of how the boy broke the rules, will leave the boy with internal turmoil, feeling abandoned, confused, sad, loney etc. In order ameliorate this internal anxiety, the boy starts to look for coping mechanisms, may that be drugs, sex, vidya or checking out from society all together. The individuals whose spirit is not crushed by this colossal male shaming, have hardened their hearts so much, that they become insensitive to their own (and others suffering). So what then usually happens that in 30 years time when that little boy grows up to be a school teacher himself... he is reprimanding new little boys in exactly the same fashion... causing exactly the same feelings in a new generation ... rinse and repeat...
Now I can see these tendencies in my own conduct, and I don’t like it as it brings out the monster in me that just wants to win at any cost… not realising what type of pyrrhic victory such conduct actually is, as you alienate everyone around you in the process … and even the self-rationalisation that this was done for some supposed "greater good" is not able to mitigate against the negative consequences of such type of behaviour. I think in Eastern philosophy that’s they use the notion of karma and in the West we used to call it fate, that’s what I think happened to Jeffery Epstein for example, he was consumed by his own pride … yet he was still only human and was mortal just like the rest of us … now the son has to pay for the sins of the father, as we as a society have to pick up the pieces of what is left in
the wake of such conduct.
male game = civilisation
shaming men for being men since time immemorial... the mental health problems are due to resolving the cognitive dissonance where you are now forced to do exactly what hurt your past self
Freddie knew:
“These solitary ones who are free in spirit know that in one thing or another they must constantly put on an appearance that is different from the way they think; although they want nothing but truth and honesty, they are entangled in a web of misunderstandings. And despite their keen desire, they cannot prevent a fog of false opinions, of accommodation, of halfway concessions, of indulgent silence, of erroneous interpretation from settling on everything they do. And so a cloud of melancholy gathers around their brow, for such natures
hate the necessity of appearances more than death, and their persistent bitterness about this makes them volatile and menacing. From time to time they take revenge for their violent selfconcealment, for their coerced constraint. They emerge from their caves with horrible expressions on their faces; at such times their words and deeds are explosions, and it is even possible for them to destroy themselves. Schopenhauer lived in this dangerous way. It is precisely such solitary people who require love, need companions in whose presence they can be as open and straightforward as they are when they are alone, companions whose presence the strain of silence and dissemblance can cease. Strip them of these companions, and you produce a growing danger; Heinrich von Kleist was destroyed by this lack of love, and the most dreadful antidote against unusual people is to drive them so far into themselves that their re-emergence causes volcanic eruption. And yet now and again there is a demigod who is able to endure living under such dreadful conditions, and who livers triumphantly. And if you would like to hear his solitary songs, just listen to Beethoven’s music. This was the first danger overshadowed by Schopenhauer’s development: isolation. The second is called: despair of truth.”

>“It suggests that something is seriously wrong in the lives of young people and that whatever went wrong seemed to happen around 2012, or 2013
Theories folks?
What happened in 2012/2013 to cause this.
I've heard people say 2012 was the tipping point but what was so special about that year?
This is probably the worst society on the face of the earth, and that has ever existed in the history of humanity.
The things we love will dystroy us. Think Brave New World. We have more technology and more options but deep down we are more miserable and alone. Everything the boomers promised us was a lie and ultimately we will have it much worse then they did. Western society is coming apart at the hinges and structural stagnation shows no signs of a recovering economy.
>what was so special about that year?
End of the mayan calendar or something.

They were the first generation to grow up with the internet.
There has never been a generation more aware of how fucked things are in the entire history of the world than this one.

That's when they woke up to their own inhumanty
For some it was gamergate, for some it was #metoo, for some it was duke lacrosse etc. everyone has a different tale to tell. The underlying assumption of equality is starting to crack, seems to be a religious invention, if Peterson is to be believed. The idea of the value of the soul and that human life has value, is the foundation of the equality narrative [and western civilisation incidentally]. In a harsh environment where every mouth to feed is a burden on the group, such an ideal may prevent humans from culling the weak members of the tribe. However, in times of plenty such a sentiment creates its own problems. Similarly, it is a nice cosy slave morality which does not require much personal responsibility.
I have been playing with the idea of late ‘that most people DO NOT understand what they belief’. They have simply been taught, shamed and reinforced into a belief system while growing up. As long as no traumatic event shakes the fundamental assumptions, the individual has no incentive to introspect and question these deeply internalized beliefs. This slave morality, keeps them in line and productive members of society (i.e. dutiful beta). Furthermore, if you now engage such an individual and question these axioms you will appear to be the antagonist. The reason being, the individual is lacking any experiential frame of reference to make sense of the presented information. Furthermore, as the presented information goes against the internalized assumptions it is interpreted as malice.
continued...
I have been using this equality narrative as a great filtering mechanisms. Once a women has spilled their beans of how she thinks she is “wonderfully unique, likes to travel, likes spending time with friends, likes good food, wants to have a fulfilling career and maybe children in the future”. I simply tell them “that makes you just like everyone else”, upon which the majority directly unmatch. I just can’t be bothered to uphold the charade and just tell them that this exact ‘snowflake mentality’ is what makes them ordinary. So instead of facing the new information its a lot easier to unmatch. It’s a great filtering mechanism for me, but it reveals a greater underlying dynamic.
So to come back to my initial point, in a resource plentiful environment you have the luxury to uphold such fantasies. In resource poor environment they would get you killed. From a perspective of a average looking women, the tinder experience is creating the impression of an environment of plenty (every guy i swipe i match), so its not even difficult to understand why women think the way they do. This in combination with gynocentrism sheltering women from harm, what incentive is their for them to introspect upon their behavior BEFORE society goes down the toilet? The only reason why men are starting to wake up to the bitter pill of the red pill is because they have been shafted one too many times…
it's a social group dynamic that corrupts the male (hobby) game of civilisational progress [which is a painful experience for the individual]
the world did end in 2012 and we're in hell ever since

One who internalizes all of that is guaranteed to be a mass shooter. But that is the intended purpose of the kikes to blame everything they’ve done on “violent white supremacists.”
There's no cause for introspection (or any sort of thought) when resources are abundant. why do you think tropical niggers are lazy and undeveloped compared to the rest of the world? it's because their needs are met so easily. Food is readily available (or it was until the recent explosion in African population), shelter is easily obtainable, etc. There was never any necessity for engineering anything more than their simple huts.
Modern society is, as you described, a microcosm of this phenomenon.

Leaving toxic workplaces, colleagues and so called friends behind is the first step to reinventing yourself and your mindset.
A good university will set you up for life. The amount of free time you get at university also allows you to pursue the hobbies that YOU want to do.
University sure as hell beats the working life.

I am sure nobody ever thought of that before...
You should read Jonathan Haidt's hypothesis on this. It basically boils down to parents who sequestered their kids and never let them go out on their own and solve their own problems amongst themselves. This handicaps their ability to problem solve with their peers, and is responsible for their constant appeals to authority figures.
Coupled with this is social media and video games. Video games make men recede from society, and social media gives women anxiety and depression, because they base their value on likes and comments about how cute they are.
They're a fucked generation. I can go hours without looking at my phone. They can't. They're unstable.
Pic related: it's what Sarah Silverman would look like with a dick.
>and the booze, sex and drugs are used to take the mind of things
I shouldn't have put booze. My main point is that you have free time to do what YOU want to do at university.
You're working towards a fairly successfully future (if you're at a good university) and at the same time you have a lot of free time. Whether to drink or join the debate team that's up to you. I was active on campus for numerous organisations and it was extremely fulfilling.

>Why is this happening?
Constantly trapped in debt with no clear path out of it for 30+ years. Possibly not even enough funds to create their own life and own their own place (mortage, college debt combined with stagnant wages etc.)
Civil conflict and constant antagonisation by minorities resulting in a fragmented society.
People create their own little groups of interaction and shut everyone else out. This becomes most apparent when seen that almost all relevant social interaction on american college campuses is "private" through Greek fraternities and sororities, excluding non-members.
Social media has become mandatory and a sign of social status, the more followers the better. Combine that with the hype of owning luxury clothing that has been perpetuated by the entertainment industry and you have a recipe for disaster.

yeah it's no accident, I let Freddie explain:
>To live alone one must be either a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher.
Where Freddie went wrong in my estimation is to conceptualise Christianity as a slave religion, for its constant reminder to care for the poor and emphasis of excessive pride as a sin (and other aspects). However, what I think he misses is that these aspects are important for the powerful not to vanquish from their own power. If you are in a position of power, it is so easy to become blinded by your own arrogance and our human tendency to only compare ourselves to individuals who we perceive have it better. As Freddie never inhabited a position of power, he was unable to comprehend that, blinded by his own pride and resent of not achieving the recognition he thought such brilliance as his own mind deserved. He was correct on many things, but in this aspect his own pride blinded him.
As far as I understand it from my current level of knowledge, the role model of Christ sets out behavioral dicta of how to operate within a social group, so not to disrupt the in-group unity AND simultaneously allowing everyone to prosper. I myself could only understand this after years of study in our modern information saturated culture, which provides us ample of data to contrast and compare. I cannot fathom the amount of genius necessary to come to such a realization in a bronze age context. We might as well say that such brilliance is divine, because at one dimension it genuinely is. Now if that is metaphorical or literal, is actually secondary to the sociological function this fulfills for people adhering to these codes of behavior (i.e. you don't have to understand that smoking causes cancer, just stopping/not smoking is good for you). In the sense that it provides a heuristic of how to live your daily life, in the face of uncertainty and all of the temptations of our own biology.
