>arguably living in the greatest time in human history

at least in terms of living standards

Too much stimulation and stress

this

Poisoned water and food.

humans evolved to live in the wild and fight to survive everyday

Mental illness is roughly ~75+ percent meme pushed by bad science and big pharma, when you say you arent happy spending 40 hrs a week doing bullshit so you can go buy bullshit ur told ur mentally ill and that's just the voices, the shadows want the fire to rise, the voices just started the little campfire

It's mostly because boomers established a life path which worked fantastic for them but is now riddled with snares which mean untold misery and suffering for any non-boomer who walks this path.

This mandatory path.

top 3 reasons
>debt bubble
>24/7 internet
>lack of real interaction

Bryter Layter was great tho.

>379 KB

That was decades ago during the boomer age, we are in a decline now.

People have less free time than at any other point in history, and far more obligations. Technology and convenience means nothing if you have no time to take advantage of it.

>Why is this?
Mary Jane, that's why.

You dont even need to work for that

Ive known people from school days that reported being unhappy, got removed from the campus, locked up in a clinic for 6 months and spent 5-10 years being dosed with high strength sedatives

somehow this is better then electrodes.

Apathy..

Instead of pulling their heads out of their asses and giving a tug on their balls and saying fuck you to the kikes everyone plays mental gymnastics to stay comfortable. We're going down and the ladder is just an arms reach away.

ma niggas

>living standards

That's great if you're sick, retarded or have a disability that makes you dependant on modern medecine or handouts...

For healthy fit young men like myself or others it's to be the most boring time in human history.

I can't even imagine myself waiting till retirement just to do even less and watch my body slowly fail on me.

What endless and uninteresting lives we live...

Alright first off stop the fucking reddit spacing. Second of all I agree, I feel like men natural have this urge to go out and make something of their lives. To join a cause to serve a greater purpose et al

>greatest time in human history
>while alimony and child support are common diseases that affect men who get involved with women

Dude I've been browsing Sup Forums for eight years. I don't reddit, never even posted a single message there. What's with the chimpouts over "reddit spacing" lately?

>it's to be the most boring time in human history.
Feudalism and basically all of human life until the Industrial Revolution would like a word with you

Smartphones and 4K televisions are not sufficient recompense for my being taxed to put food on the tables of those being shipped in to replace me.

how the hell did my farmer ancestors survive all those millenia? Farming 16 hrs/day is literally hell on earth

hopefully my boy trump will do something about it

fbpb
false. the golden age of the mediterranean was the best time

The whole world has been engineered to breed confusion and suffering so that a select few can profit from it.

Because we know more about mental illnesses to identify them in people

nutrition. for the love of god, I swear, there's something weird about the combination of sugar overload and television. Like a crude population control program from the 50s.

>how the hell did my farmer ancestors survive all those millenia
to be fair, a great deal of you didn't

>nothing to do on the internet but fight each other
>nothing to do irl but fight each other
>nothing to get you stoned because boomers think weed is heroin
>nothing to bust a nut into because every fag and slut got married
at least if i could download music for free like i used to then id have something to do

There is a lot of things that could be used to control us, such as chemtrails, fluoridated water, GMOs, etc

This. We are living in second fall of the Roman republic (best case) or collapse of the Empire (worst case). Like the Romans of old historians (if there are any) will marvel at our age and how advanced and prosperous we were and also how decandent, depraved and corrupt we became as we threw it all away for the garbage heap of Islam and Af

Pharmacological experiments conducted on regions of population through the deliberate doping of food, water, and air.

Farmers just shilled, fucked and got drunk most of the year dude well at least in my country they did.

because responsibility and accountability are abstract concepts to many people ( at least half of the country in Fact )

so you have to twist life and living into a logic pretzel to accomplish this reality

vaccines

>at least if i could download music for free
>not just using jewtube

No, in the real world they worked 12+ hours a day and had to make their own clothes and maintain their own home.

ive watched the internet go from a place to exchange ideas and optimism, a true bastion of freedom where people werent ridiculed for their hobbies or interests to witnessing the fall of file sharing most notably napster kazaa megaupload rapidshare etc which made people so gid damn bored they started sharing with the world how fucking crazy and twisted they are i just want to download music tv shows and movies in fucking peace fuck outta here with the jewry

1) our lives do not match the ones we were evolved to live

2) everyone in the past was mentally ill too, just nobody noticed/cared

implying youtube would ever be the same the beauty of the file sharing apps like napster is it gave people the ability to have the same music albums and opened up people to the music tastes of others who already had broad tastes in music. it brought the world together, made us more alike, youtube does nothing of the same nature but breeds more contempt amongst us who dont have what others might

...

It's this. We are still mostly hunter-gatherers at our core and almost none of our current lifestyle is like it was as we evolved. There's a reason we are overwhelmed with /comfy/ feels when we go camping. We're pretty much obsolete, and it's making us crazy.

First time listening, good stuff.

if i lived with my parents maybe i wouldnt have to be cheap

Modernity induces stress on the mind.

People have always been mentally ill. We were just drunk all the time so no one really noticed.

which brings us back to

because of the jews

>greatest time in human history

source pls

>chemtrails, fluoridated water, GMOs

none of them have the side effect of making us inflamed emotional messes left to the mercy of the tear-jerking banality of day time television.

also try communicating values and ideas over chemtrail.

>unironically using memegenerator images on Sup Forums
just fucking delete this website

I completely agree, with one correction: least free time was in the middle of the industrial revolution. We get the silver medal.

my responsibility involves not downloading kiddy porn or bomb making manuals or watching snuff films or anything with animal abuse, asking me for anything else and you can go fuck yourself

No idea. I've also been accused of Reddit spacing and I've never visited the site. Been shit posting here since 2007.

Society s own reality is a hoax crafted to keep everyone in confusion

Reddit forces you to doublespace. People who started on reddit then migrated to Sup Forums call it reddit spacing because it's what they're most familiar with.

Basically he tipped his hand.

>"greatest time in human history" says faggot OP
>West's purchasing power in the shit due to Asian competition and liberal policies
>longer work hours
>people are more selfish, its harder to get acquainted with someone and dating is harder
>houses expensive AF!
>college is more worthless, STEM included
>"..nah, you are just crazy man. lel"

this is most certainly not the greatest time in history. this is a miserable shit time to be alive, especially in the US.

Humans are built to be tribal creatures that can endure the real hardships that come with survival. Without that we wonder around searching for purpose, excitement and community. When we can't find those we slip into depressive states.

It is a mystery.

Do you not know about Soulseek?

It is not healthy to be "mentally well" in a sick society.

Glad to hear man. I spent a whole year mastering his songs, fucking brilliant artist imo.

youtube.com/watch?v=BLXbTMyTDcU

Because we are good at treating it. In the past, if you were mental, you probably didn't live long.

Single motherhood.
People going to college and being told that there's something wrong with wanting a family.

>Do you not know about Soulseek?
>not redacted.ch

Because people have it too easy. Instead of worrying about survival, people are worrying about whether or not somebody will disagree with them on the internet.

o i am laffin

This guy goes into why depression is so prevalent:

youtube.com/watch?v=Sf9MBOLbKuk

Still, I don't think mental illness is that big a deal. It just seems that way on Sup Forums since there are so many societal rejects here. The majority of the population does not have a mental illness.

Yes, we aren't perfectly adapted to a modern, sedentary lifestyle. But we can still pull it off for the most part.

Wrong. Peasants from the middle ages had more days off then workers do today.

>every western country is weimar-tier
>w-why is everyone retarded though?

Life is literally easy as fuck now. How easy is it to stay alive right now? Exactly. People have to search for meaning, and meaning used to be "staying alive" or "religion" or a mix. Now people have formed logical arguments against religion, and have no true troubles in their life. Even the poorest of the poor in a first world country has the ability to stay alive.

This meaninglessness we face either leads to hobbies / work, or some kind of existential depression or anxiety. Combine the meaninglessness with the never ending wonder of technology and entertainment and voila you have a society of neurotic fucks.

Ignoring the problem does not make it go away user. It isn't healthy to sweep our social issues under a rug and pretend this is the new normal.
It's weak men like you who's inability to see and admit how bad the situation is that enables it to get worse.

I read his book, it's excellent and best of all very actionable. What this thread is about though is goes beyond bad lifestyle choices, it's really getting into civilization-wide glitches.

People needs adversity to build character. A knife is sharpened by grinding it against stone.

>The majority of the population does not have a mental illness.

isn't it something like 60% of women are on or have been on anti-depressants?

more idle time more time to think up fake problems

What is an attention seeking whore?

Only betas have problems with the status quo because they are educated enough to notice a lingering pattern of oppression but still stupid enough to not lead their own life.

There is no better place to be and time period to be than right now in America. The aristoctatic class is argulable as big as it ever was due to population scaling and credit driven economy, and you have all the opportunity available to you to succeed if you are intelligent enough.

The pursuit of happiness is one of the very first philosophic questions molded by early Greeks. If you arent happy, youve failed a core mission in life, dumb fuck nigger

Post-modernism

TIL: redditors call double spacing reddit spacing and call other people redditors a lot on the "chanz". :^/ WTF!!?

No. I know boomer millionaires in my line of work who are massive alcoholics and divorced messes. They destroy themselves. Then the spoiled trophy wife that left them follow the same path and descend into depression and alcoholism.
Again, weak "men" like you ignore the problems and allow things to get worse and worse until we are in a death spiral.
Stop ignoring our social problems. Man the fuck up. Look at these problems dead on and address them.
Or be the weak man that your father's generation was.

Just because you've been prescribed an antidepressant doesn't mean you're mentally-ill. Doctors and psychiatrists prescribe SSRIs and shit like crazy, even if someone doesn't necessarily meet all of the criteria for actual major depressive disorder. Big Pharma heavily incentivizes them to do so.

The most reliable statistics point to around 20% of the populace as having an actual mental illness. Which is a lot, but isn't threatening to cause society to collapse.

I never said we shouldn't try and stop it. Hell, the video I posted has some very good ideas for helping people with depression.

Don't fucking misinterpret my post and then insult me, idiot.

This is cool too

> 40+ hours per week of trivial repetitive tasks that are infinitesimally small parts of horribly confusing larger parts that are all working towards some unknown goal
> lack of community
> feeling of uselessness
> lack of daily sun exposure
> lack of nutritious diet
> lack of movement
> digital tools that hammer our reward circuitry endlessly causing adaptations that make real life feel mundane
> lack of danger
> lack of religion
> credit-based economy where nearly everyone has financially enslaved themselves

Everything has come apart at the seams. Time to fix ourselves, no one else is going to do it.

Tribe
The Depression Cure
Shop Class as Soulcraft
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

There's no going back, is there?

I should be living in the forest, communing with animistic gods and fighting as a warrior for the strength and honour of my clan. I missed it by 200 years.

This, I wanna go on an adventure and tame a foreign land.

might is right

Nice ancedotal bro, but where you focus on people around you, noticed how I place importance in yourself. From your post, you are unhappy because some chucklefuck is unhapppy. I cannot change your worldview on Sup Forums, but you have to know that you sound like aged teenaged angst. Furthemore, I never said you had to be rich, I mentioned -leading- your own life in your own pursuit of happiness. The definition varies vastly from person to person, and America gives all its citizens (and some more than others) proper opportunity to achieve such. The people you mention clearly never defined what they needed in their life to be happy.

It's a combination of lowering the bar and a widened definition/diagnosis of mental illness.

We're spoiled in the first world because our standard of living is the highest it has ever been yet the amount of effort we exert in daily life gets lower and lower. That's not to say that people don't work hard, but it's the difference between herding cattle for 12 hours a day to afford clothing for your family and saving up 16 hours worth of filing paperwork to buy your teen an iPhone. Our psyche doesn't know what to do with itself when it isn't being utilized so we fool ourselves into thinking we have some kind of disorder or need to break out of some imaginary glass ceiling we've constructed around ourselves in the absence of legitimate grievance or struggle. People grasp at straws to pursue things that they believe will give them purpose, and ironically sometimes that means falsely attributing a lack of purpose to an inability to be content.

In a few generations we'll, as a society, regain a general collective purpose, but we've become complacent and we're going through a period where we don't know what to do with ourselves now that we have basically everything we want at all times.

ay

Just ignore him, man. Anyone with the AnCap flag isn't going to have anything worth listening or responding to.

Living in this society will give you a mental illness, and if you think not then you're lying.

Humans didn't evolve to live in population dense urban centers, working 40 hour weeks doing something they hate, whilst surrounded by concrete and never ending noise pollution.

TRANSLATION: Employers would like to pay you even less, and in return they will provide snacks worth less than the pay cut.
