my main problem is I compare life now to in the US in the 50's through 90's instead of the dark ages.

When I do that, I think about medicine in general and dentists in particular. Our age wins here. Though I don’t know, maybe regular folks in the US can’t afford medical and dental help, so it doesn’t matter to them.

I would imagine that those starving bricklayers in Africa know the value of what they have, are grateful to have it, and would gladly share it with anybody they felt needed it more than them. Their life is probably difficult at times — whose isn’t? — but they have family, friends, and community who look out for them, because in the end they know they have nothing without each other.

I have read in the past that depression is very rare in Africa.

Alienation from labor and isolation from your community cannot be solved through pleasure and consumption

Royalty had agency and power. Anon is just doing the movements, but can’t sculpt the future.

Can relate. On our coast we have some of the most laid back village people in the world, yet here in the city with all our amenities we get upset with dumb things like people making noise in the tennis court across from our condo. Priorities are shot.

Well, for a start, 90% of young men cant relate to the first one. That is a major and growing problem

HonoraryMancunian ,

What can we do to solve it?

Have guys who post dick picks add those pics to their dating profile

Travel helps a lot. Gives perspective. Also there’s a whole ass planet of people that will boink you out there. No need to geographically lock your romantic life. Just ya know, don’t go to brothels and shit, that’s no bueno.

As someone who formerly suffered from that problem I think a big part of the issue is that the world is incredibly isolating and alienating, so you get stuck in your head and can’t just talk to people normally. We need to stop creating suburbs that act like prisons for developing minds. We need more third places. And we need to find some way of teaching people to have healthy relationship-building interactions with other people without making anyone feel unsafe.

You need some sort of goal in life, and anon doesn’t sound like he has one. Most any positive goal will do, just get one

proceduralnightshade ,

Yeah just get one of the life goal market, something is gonna make sense eventually right haha

dudinax ,

You can always contribute to the great project of figuring things out.

Or find anyone you even slightly admire and help them do their thing.

Kaboom ,

Are you doing okay? You didn’t sound alright

It’s fairly easy to see the problem here: The dude has way too many obligations.

Most people would be happy just to go to a beach and poke the sand with a stick. The privileges of “upper middle class” are the real schackels preventing people from going to the beach.

It’s just chemistry, it barely has anything to do with what is actually going on in your life or how much you appreciate it.

Do you think environmental factors have no effect whatsoever?

Tarquinn2049 ,

They have an effect on the chemistry, but for the most part, if you are depressed, you will be depressed no matter how good of a day or month or year you have. Depression doesn’t happen because you did something to cause it. And it doesn’t stop from just having a good time.
