Interesting thread, actually.
If I exclude the folks here who are suffering from some actual physical disease (which includes myself, people with cancer, some degenerative or chronic diseases etc. - or straight neurological ones), then I come to the conclusion that we're looking at a Darwinian Mega Trend (DMT).
People here are all from atheist western consumer societies, which have over the last decades increasingly shown signs of #MouseUtopia.
Google it - to my knowledge they're not censoring it yet.
Suicide waves are basically social cleansing events, though the immediate (probably genetic or epigenetic) reasons why some individuals are more ctb-affine than others are not yet clear. Suicidal people can be seen as canaries in the coal mine for societies that lost all forward momentum, and must therefore break down or drastically change.
A frequent myopic misunderstanding is to seek the reason for that in political developments of the last few years - this is typical for young people without any historical knowledge. I'm tired of the imbeciles who still believe that 'Hillary or Trump' would make any difference rather than being two sides of the same coin, alphas ruling the betas. Be serious, kids. Western society started gliding into its current final state in the early 1960s, with Flower Power, when it decided to begin to fully concentrate the majority on resolving social unfairness issues, while the elite carried on as usual, an elite that no longer has tribal roots in common with the population, the way aristocracies of old used to always have.
This is an entirely unnatural development.
Humans are however hierarchic social animals, their societies are by nature unfair and will forever stay that way...
Humans of average intelligence have a hard time coping without religious beliefs that offer them a chance to dream of 'paradise,' where life is exactly like now, only much better, and forever. Humans crave such beliefs to ward of reality, which can admittedly be terrible.
Religion is not a 'human right' for no reason, and I can see efforts on a global scale to reintroduce religion to the West.
Interestingly, 'Progressives' (Feminists, hardcore Marxists, Anarchists etc.) are furthering this effort, while practically all people here seem to be atheists.
Is that not at first glance a contradiction ?
But maybe not at second glance ?
it was almost torture...almost because I am not in physical pain...it is even worse for sure...
