What's the general consensus re: the technology sector? Is it going to just go up and up and up forever, or what? What are some instances / scenarios / conditions where the tech sector would go down?

My problem with psychiatry in general is the following:

1) It seems reactive vs proactive. It does not seem to get to the root issues (e.g. situation X causes brain states such that person P feels depressed. Lets not address situation X but instead give someone a pill so that they can now cope with situation X). Now granted, depression most likely has a genetic component and even if person P had all the money and fame in the world, they may still feel depressed due to genetic reasons. So that's a counter-argument right there for ya.

2) This is the bigger issue: We a) do not know the long terms effects of these drugs on persons (this is really a general critique of technology) and b) we do not understand how the drugs causally work. Studies and statistics tell us that the drugs SEEM to work, but we don't know exactly HOW they work. We have theories as to how they work. That scares me a little.

I am of the option that a) good social connections/relationships b) good physical health and c) some sense of meaning/purpose/happiness-at-work/spirituality will cure most woes. We are going to lose a) due to the state of the world, the internet, COVID, etc. We are going to lose b) due to the corporations pushing Coca-Cola on us. We have already lose c) cus Nietzsche & the crushing weight of working at Amazon in a warehouse.
