Teenagers today have the same levels of anxiety as insane psychiatric patients in 1950s.

Suicide is increasing

People are unhappy in their jobs and scared for most of their lives.

Big Brand Corporations sponsor studies that claim that 25% of your daily calories should be sugar, rather than the far safer 10% which a highly ranked american board of doctors published just previously.

Science has always been co-opted by capitalism and to think that it exists for the betterment of society is a joke when faced with the reality of history, pharmaceutical companies and modern food production.

Analytic Philosophy is the most rigorously studied philosophy in the world despite denying the human subject its own subjectivity. Any philosophy that needs to be justified through word games rather than real human emotion (which makes up 100% of our experience) is intellectual poison and has been turned into a fetishized commodity

Globalisation and western neo-imperialism has happened through trade, the markets and the installation of foreign dictators by the hive of failed european renaissance thought, namely America.

New Atheism follows the Prostestant reformation as a further shattering off any societal structure in favour of a hyperreal hyper individualized scientistic society.

I hope with all my heart that when the american petro-dollar collapses people will finally understand how right Heidegger was.

>Why the increase in anxiety? In both studies, anxiety levels are associated with low social connectedness and high environmental threat. During the study period, social connectedness decreased because of higher divorce rates, more people living alone and a decline in trust in other people. The author says many of these changes involve greater individualism, but she says there can be a down side to this. "Our greater autonomy may lead to increased challenges and excitement, but it also leads to greater isolation from others, more threats to our bodies and minds, and thus higher levels of anxiety," said Dr. Twenge.
We truly live in a post-postmodern age

These things are symptomatic of the corruption and ensuing failure of our current societal structure. They will not last forever. We have been born into the saddest chapter of human history thus far, but as consolation we get to see the world shit its pants over the coming decades, if such a spectacle indeed has any value.

All these things can be solved with consuming enough alcohol/drugs so you don't have to think about it

Nope faggit, if you make some sort of point you need to provide your sources. Otherwise hide and sage.

Besides, you're aware that a difference of 2 per 100000 is so miniscule that it can hardly be reliably attributed to ANYTHING?

You mean there's a mathematically significant correlation between increasing financial inequality (leading to less money for health, school, etc.) and levels of anxiety and depression?
