Amazingly, youthful angst and depression have been steadily increasing for several decades, with no puzzlingly large blip in recent years. You can jump to a conclusion that the problem is the one thing that personally bothers you the most, but maybe it’s a spectrum - for example, a lot of psychologists have been blaming teenage depression on too much screen time and not enough in-person social contact.

blaming teenage depression on too much screen time and not enough in-person social contact

That might be a part, but I’d ask you this: When is the last time that mankind truly had hope for the future? This isn’t just about individual people - it’s the entire media landscape.

I wouldn’t know about what mankind thinks, just my own thoughts. I had high hopes for the future this year, until 10 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 decided not to show the fuck up this time.
