It’s eugenics but with a different formula. they are using economic hardship to weed out the least successful by pushing them to the edge

I wonder how many of them are from North Korea? Because, living under a dictatorship in NK must be really dehumanizing.

A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.

Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.

This data is for South Korea only, which unfortunately itself has the highest suicide rate of the OECD countries.

Why?

If I had to take an educated guess, it is the absurdly immense pressure for academic and career success. Basically through one’s entire childhood and early-adult life. A child’s day would be something like public school from morning to afternoon and private tutoring after that until night time. Rince and repeat with an ever growing pressure for an acceptance into a highly rated university.

And on top of that, incredible wealth inequality.

So from childhood until death it all seems like constant pressure to become excellent. Seems like life would be hopeless if one struggles with the academics and fails to secure a career.

Plus Chaebol companies (Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SKI, etc.) control the country and the economy. They have special entry exams and who is your family also determines if you can get in.

Consider that just Samsung's business supposes 20% of South Korea's GBP.

SK is the closest we get to Cyberpunk.

The closest we get so far!
