>do you think a less technological society would be a solution to quality of life
No. But I am skeptical of the value of metrics like QOL. The happiest, most satisfied, most in harmont people I have known were buddhist monks living in the middle of a jungle who didn't even have electricity.

>do you think a less technological society would be a solution to suicide rates
Almost certainly. Banning social media alone would help. Abolishing all electronic media would do wonders for it. Gassing marketing people? Amazing. Censoring loud music? Brilliant. Make people spend a few weeks with nothing to do but sit in the candlelight reading the classics and see humanity regain its purpouse.

Why must every book have the same reddit-y cover art nowadays? Where did it all go wrong?

Was it ever in the cards for secular humanism to work? Was it a symptom of sickness to begin with?

Is the pic supposed to be a bad example or a good example of book covers? Because I like that cover, desu.

So do I! Sorry for being unclear.

Every cover art belongs to the same 4 archetypes nowadays : Existing media reused (Penguin, OWC. Everyman), literal stock photos, overdesigned reddit shit (Folio Society), or "minimalist" crap thrown together in 5 minutes. I challenge you to find a cover art that doesn't belong to these 4 categories!

anyone read this?
if everything in the modern world changes so fast, how can we ever have a mythology to live by?

I've never read any book by Jung so is this book worth reading and what is the main theme?

Hope you like it, Ana/Anna/ Anne!
