If the modern world is so great, and so much better than the past, why people are constantly taking antidepressants? why depression, anxiety, suicide, and stress keep increasing in developed countries? why people constantly are abusing drugs, or taking alcohol? why are we so sad all the time if we have so much abundance?

Well... at least, everyone I've ever asked says so. They say we live so much better, because we have modern medicine, we can live past 70+ years, we have abundance in food, and water, and all that.

Yet, all this people are stressed, they sleep too little, many are taking pills or had depression at least once in their lifetime, or abuse some form of drug (alcohol, weed, etc), etc.

I’m waging all the time which stresses me out which makes me drink alcohol and fuck tinder hoes, and now even “sex workers.” I’m even a remote wagie now, but still... the 40 hour work wee fucking kills me. I need more free time bros. What the fuck are we doing. I just need a few hundred grand so I can cash out and buy the cheapest little farm in bum fuck Argentina or Latvia, call it a day. I hate this society, everybody is a retarded slave, I medicate myself with booze and coooming to ease the pain. I wasn’t off this ride. I just want a stupid wife who’s naive and likes to cook, not some insane psycho bitch like all the women nowadays that I’ve been dating. How do we escape this?

Life is rough. I don't know how it was in the old days, but I just feel alone all the time, eating processed food that is clearly unhealthy (mostly because it has too much sodium or carbs that give diabetes and hypertension), and the fucking work just stressed me.

I get home tired, and my work just keeps me all the time sitting on a fucking chair, so I never do excercise and the last medical exams I took showed I have low Vitamin D in the blood (which is produced when the skin touches lightsun, which I obviously rarely do cuz I work inside a building) so now I need to take this pills to regulate that, among other problems.

I guess you lived less, and was more risky, but you had fresh air, a land you could call your own, or didnt need it (if you were a hunter gatherer) and I guess society was more cohesive: you knew everyone, and everyone knew you. I guess you also were less prone to be fat or have diabetes and shit, because you didn't eat so much carbs.

Statistics. Studies have shown that depression has consistently been going up with the years, even if you take studies where the definitions of depression are not changed due to advances in psychiatry.

Plus, if you study rural societies (like Amish societies), vs urban societies and compare the rates of depression, for example, the rural societies tend to have lower depression rates, and there are clear examples of societies that went from rural to urban, and depression peaked through the roof in those when the change was produced.

overabundance of dopamine/serotonin.

back in the "good ole days" (see: Juvenoia) people actually struggled to obtain the lower tiers of pic related. nowadays there's a much larger (and more influential, thanks to social media) slice of society that has obtained all of the "needful" and proceeded to get what they wanted - most of the times overindulging in those aspects, such as spending 24h playing vydia, drinking heavily, etc. such habits lead you to a higher yield of dopamine specially and also serotonin, making you resistant to it (the same way if you smoke weed everyday for a month, by the next month you'll barely feel anything from a hit) and therefore making you urge for quick dopamine hits (vydia, choccy milk, coming, you get the idea) and making stuff with less dopamine yield (reading, eating a fuckign apple which has an already insane amount of fructose taste like water), so you need more and more to the point people start needing meds (in this case antidepressants such as lithium and its by-products) to help them feel something. it's fucked up and the best way to get around it at the moment is digital hygiene. DYOR and be safe, Anon. don't fall for non-scientific bait. you can quote me on everything i said i can get you scientific basis.

I have a fantasy of running off and joining some Mennonite/Amish community, but I’m not sure they would even accept me because I’ve been such a piece of shit. How do we fix this. When I was younger I use to stay in monasteries for months on end without jacking off, no booze, eating one meal a day, etc and I was very content and happy to simply exist in the world during those times. It was rough for the first few weeks, but after some time you start to become content with the simple things in life. Every time i would go back to the world, to working I would slide into degeneracy. Now, I’m fucked I need an emergency break from this shit. Why the the fuck can’t someone create some kind of shitcoin that pays me to live like a monk and not reward me until I’ve made it 6 months or a year of strict disciplined living. How do we create this. Waging is literally killing me physically and spiritually

Do you think living in a serotonin rehab center would help offset this? —at least temporarily? I think If I lived for a few months on a basic routine with simple foods and no serotonin rush from screens etc I could reset my brain to some degree. I would do this if I didn’t have to wage.

the median wage in 1960 was 5600. According to official inflation numbers that adjusts to about 45k today. But the median home price in 1960 was 12k whereas the median home price today is around 320k. Meaning the numbers are fake and to be on par with the median wage of 60 years ago you would need to earn 160k just to be an average joe. Thats a very back of the envelope calculation and it would be more complicated to get a real number, but clearly inflation is much higher than they tell us. And they don't tell us because we're a frog in a pot. They don't want us to jump out before we're boiled.

We've forsaken God. Not even exaggerating or being ironic in saying that. Our society has placed so much credence in "knowing" that we look at something as simple as the belief in a higher power as childish and idiotic, when in reality it's the very thing that allows for life to flourish. Some very few are capable of wrestling with the most minute intricacies of the universe and life sure isnt a cake walk for them, but the average man needs something unshakeable to rely on so he can go about his day without having a 24/7 anxiety attack questioning the nature of reality. Religion, actually fuck that just simple faith in God is actually a brilliant strategy for survival. Forget about all the midwit fedora atheist arguments that are so stale that they dont even warrant a rebuttal, here's my guide for a simple and concise philosophy for a better life:
>everything good that happens comes from God
>everything bad that happens comes from Satan

Transportation, ironically enough, only increased the multicultural problem, since better transporation makes it easier to move vast number of people in a short time to other countries.

Modern medicine is surely a thumbs up, sadly, most of it has been hacked by big farmaceutical corporations that have profit motives quite away from health, so while it does helps, it comes packed with a bunch of corporativist bullshit.

Entertainment, I guess it depends on the kind of entertainment we're talking here.

I've read about that. The main reasons where because the church back then had far more festives and holidays, most of them mandatory, and Sunday was already a free day per religious reasons. On top of that, weddings, births also added up to a whole week of free time.

Finally, when harvesting season was over, they just didn't work the fields (besides preserving it for the next season) because there was no point in doing it.

1. Religion is important in that it fulfills an existential-psychological need
2. Science has both (a) overly-quantified and (b) disenchanted the world

I got a big big kick reading into the world religions last year - Christianity (I'm a stickler for Catholicism as I DO like the rigidity of it), Buddhism, Islam, etc. There's something to say about giving yourself up to a religion, with its history, ethics, metaphysics, etc.

In some ways it better in others it worse.
Humanity is a slave to a cycle in the same way markets are.
We have been at in a steady social decline for the better part of a century. The only reason this cycle is slightly different is that technology outpaced social growth/decline this time around.
Now society is like a 120 year old man kept alive by the technology we produce and create.
It will only keep going for so long, I doubt we will have a true collapse but I see 20-30 years of regression before a reversal.
Then hopefully we will take our rightful place among the stars.

I just want to clarify technology isn't inherently good or evil but rather societal growth has been outpaced by technology in an unhealthy fashion. We worship technology like it is a god. We have abandoned our gods and traditions in the hope that we can create the ubermench.
It's sickening in alot of ways but humankind is very much like a teenager currently. Temperamental and strong minded without very much forward thinking.

This and just going outside. Even if the sun isn't shining hard you should still go outside, and if it's winter and the sun is shining just take your shirt off and stand in the sun. Also, consume enough cholesterol (eggs) because you need it to convert sunlight to vit d.

I think I needed this thread to vent out. I’m literally in tears because life seems so pointless and unfair. It makes me sad how so many bad things are real. I hate that my family has suffered poverty and live in a shitty place with no future. I hate that I love my partner but feel there is no real future between us. We have no sex life, a rough past with cheating involved and don’t know if he actually wants to get married and kids someday, or if we’re just together because we’re scared of being alone. I hate my fucking job so much but I know I can’t quit because what the fuck would I do to pay my bills. My self esteem is taking a toll. My days go by and I feel like I’m not doing anything meaningful. Even if I “make it” I feel there would be something bringing me down, because of course money doesn’t solve all your problems. Idk what to do frens, I feel so hopeless.

> Many [female rats] were unable to carry pregnancy to full term or to survive delivery of their litters if they did. An even greater number, after successfully giving birth, fell short in their maternal functions. Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal from which individuals would emerge to eat, drink and move about only when other members of the community were asleep. The social organization of the animals showed equal disruption. ...

The common source of these disturbances became most dramatically apparent in the populations of our first series of three experiments, in which we observed the development of what we called a behavioral sink. The animals would crowd together in greatest number in one of the four interconnecting pens in which the colony was maintained. As many as 60 of the 80 rats in each experimental population would assemble in one pen during periods of feeding. Individual rats would rarely eat except in the company of other rats. As a result extreme population densities developed in the pen adopted for eating, leaving the others with sparse populations.

... In the experiments in which the behavioral sink developed, infant mortality ran as high as 96 percent among the most disoriented groups in the population.[5]

If i can pontificate a bit, for your edification, one of the rules of the internet is "there are no girls on the internet". This rule does not mean what you think it means.
In real life, people like you for being a girl. They want to fuck you, so they pay attention to you and they pretend what you have to say is interesting, or that you are smart or clever. On the internet, we don't have the chance to fuck you. This means the advantage of being a "girl" does not exist. You don't get a bonus to conversation just because I'd like to put my cock in you.
When you make a post like, "hurr durr, I'm a girl" you are begging for attention. The only reason to post it is because you want your girl-advantage back, because you are too vapid and too stupid to do or say anything interesting without it. You are forgetting the rules, there are no girls on the internet.
The one exception to this rule, the one way you can get your "girlness" back on the internet, is to post your tits. This is, and should be, degrading for you, an admission that the only interesting thing about you is your naked body.

tl;dr: tits or GET THE FUCK OUT.

I think that the modern west can be the best time and place to be, although the younger you are the more likely you are to be raised like a pussy, fed zog onions at school. never get into fights, have autism/childhood cancer/obesity in general too much to overcome to carve out a sane part in this insane world. This isn't even to mention technology. Dudes I know that would have lived it up 25 years ago never take their eyes of a screen.
That being said this is just my rant since my parents were essentially infertile and I should have died within minutes of birth modern medicine just had to "save me". Assuming you make it to adulthood without being a faggot loser you have the benefits of:
Food and water security, safer child birthing, freedom to own land and guns(at least here in the US), knowledge of training and nutritional practices. Assuming you went to school and got one of those comfy modern jobs you don't have to wreck your body by 35 and you get vacation days which can be used to fill some of the gap between us and men of old. Skiing and climbing mountains, hunting, fishing, with the ability to make it as dangerous as you'd like.
If you are a depressed ugly loser now you would have been one 300 years ago; but if you've got success now you have far less to contend with than at any other time in history.

It's good and bad in a lot of ways. There's this book called, "bowling alone" which takes about bowling league participation has plummeted (this was before the chyna virus so that's not the reason for this). I remember growing up it the 90s and you had to social and talk with other people to figure things out. Stuck in a vidya game? Maybe you have forum you can go to, but more realistically you talked to your friends at school. Going over to people's houses to play couch co-op or LANs was so much fun. When you go older this changed to going to and hosting parties and having fun.

Now we live in a virtualized society. But, on top of that, everything is so fucking expensive. I'm single and make decent money (I do have a dog which does increase my cost of living some). I don't consoom much aside from groceries, but even I look at my bank account and try to figure out where it all goes, about half my income goes into investing, but assets are so inflated that you can't even buy much, unless you're speculating on some shitcoin.

The modern world is 'better' if your only view of human attainment if physical. You never are in want of food, shelter, heat, or sex in the modern world. But the spiritual battles are the exact same throughout the ages. Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' was written in the 2nd century yet the concepts he spoke of can be applied directly to our lives today despite the drastic differences in our environments. That's because the spirit of man does not change. We strive for attainment in the spiritual just the same as our ancestors did and struggle just as much as them with the answers to our most difficult problems. Some earlier generations had a better understanding of the spirit and its essential needs and some didn't. We seem to wax and wane throughout history of learning and unlearning these lessons.

Didn't read responses in thread so far but it's because the value of religion and community that was once present in peoples lives is gone and nothing has replaced it except shitty bingeable media or hookup apps. Temperance is necessary for human happiness but people no longer understand how to achieve that because what they want is constantly shoved in their face.

A big part of the dissatisfaction with modern life is an overabundance of choice. People are in a constant state of anxiety and stress over their choices and attempting to maximize their happiness. For most of human history the average person had almost zero ability to structure their lives in the way they see fit. Its easier to be content with your lot if there was no way it could have realistically been different. Now, we have much greater opportunity to live how we choose, but that freedom weighs heavily on human psyche.

You're in the same place Jordan Peterson is, understanding the practicality of religion without faith. I'm in that stage too. Faith is the hardest part of my journey and I suffer without it.

I don't really know what I'm holding onto, but I feel that my heart is still barren to the seed of faith. I'm hoping with prayer and going to church that I can turn the dryness of my heart fertile. I don't think this stance of understanding the logical usefulness of religion is at all what it means to be a Christian. You and I and Jordan Peterson have to take a leap of faith at some point to be saved.

One of the downsides to that faith that I think I'm holding onto is the fact that it turns off a lot of people and makes my position in debate a lot less effective I guess. But I think that is a cope that I use to rationalize my self-interested ego that wants notoriety for my intellect. In reality, faith is what makes your well flow over and gives you the strength to be a beacon that guides others.

IDK, what do you think? I've been listening to this guy on youtube "Made by Jimbob" who has been changing my perspectives a lot recently and he identifies a lot of problems with Jordan Peterson that I've noticed are true. I mean, JP's clearly suffering. He thinks the world is suffering and that his place is to struggle against the gales it produces endlessly. He properly identifies the problems with society but can't produce solutions that make even his own life tenable.

all we have are surrogate activities. at worst they are meaningless wagie jobs and at best meaningless wagie careers. we spend nearly 50% of our waking hours (close to 10 hours a day, 5 days a week when you consider preparation and commute on top of 8 working hours) for 60% of our lives (ages 18 through 68) on these surrogate activities. none of it has any connection to nature. you aren't tending to your (or your lord's) farmlands to feed to your family. you're commuting an hour each way to click buttons on a screen, with layers of needless complexity and stress, just to make some jew shareholder 0.1% richer. or you're pushing boxes around a warehouse for 12 hours, also with needless complexity and stress, so some retard can mindlessly consume some chink trinket in that box you're pushing around. you're basically dedicating a significant portion of the only life you will ever get to absolutely meaningless tasks, in the most demeaning way imaginable, with high amounts of stress. this is why depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. are so extreme. even the dumbest 80 IQ niggers realize what a terrible way of life this is, completely detached from NATURAL LIFE.

The most popular sociological theory (Durkheim) for the rising suicide rates is that people are more socially isolated and don't have an obvious place in society. In feudal europe people usually lived with their extended family and knew what to expect of their life in terms of work and living conditions.

Nowadays more people live alone and though people do have more economic opportunity they also have more insecurity.

I might have butchered it a little bit but Durkheim was basically studying the difference in suicide rates of protestant and carholic european nations. His biggest explanatory factor was the family relations and social belonging

Actually hunter gatherers only had to work about 4 hours a day according to anthropologists. They also didn't struggle with childbirth or teeth problems, those are modern problems (see: Price and Pottinger research). Also they lived quite a bit longer than people assume, if you subtract infant mortality. Basically if you made it past 5 you could likely expect to see 60.

Also he wrote a bit about religion not being the same binding force it used to be. people used to have more in common with the people they lived around as well. (he refers to this as mechanic solidarity), in modern times we show solidarity with others because we are reliant on them in capitalism (bosses, coworkers etc) which he calls "organic solidarity".

To illustrate this i'll simply say that people used to have more friends and know more people in their area. A simple example of this is the difference between living in a big city and living in a small town.

How do you force yourself to believe? You either do or you don't. It's possible that you do and you refuse to acknowledge it, then it's like you say where you have to open your heart and figure out how to not be misguided by the ego (becoming Christian is a big identity change that the ego has to reconcile).
If you don't believe at the bottom of your heart, then you can't just fake it. If it's not there it's not there. Why Christianity instead of Zoroastrianism? Or Buddhism or animism? If that is perplexing you then you're obviously not a Christian. I can't reconcile it myself, the closest I can get to being Christian is acknowledge Jesus' teachings as truth and everything else in the bible as bunk written by shephards and not god. In my theory Jesus wasn't a very good Christain and wasn't concerned with the rites and rituals, he shrugged that off and found his own connection with divinity and just wanted to share that with us. He was an enlightened person trying to explain to Jews that they didn't have to be Jews anymore, I'm sure much of what he said was misinterpreted by his followers.
So that's as close as I can get to Christianity. Needless to say I don't go to church and I don't believe in the Jewish god.

Maybe in our lifetimes, maybe not, who can say? give it a try, it will force you to look elsewhere to fill that time. This will be terribly uncomfortable at first but it's worth it, trust me anon

No really, just think about it. Manual labour makes you tired. Tiredness makes you thirsty. To sate your thirst, you need liquid. Now if medieval people DID drink alcohol instead of water, they'd all be CONSTANTLY drunk. Drunk farmers tending to the fields all day. Drunk guards patrolling the town. Drunk soldiers marching to war. Hell, drunk soldiers FIGHTING in wars. You still need to eat and drink during skirmishes, which could take a long time if neither side had the advantage. So every important person that was vital to society was just straight up completely drunk.
And that's not even getting to the logistics of things. Towns were founded universaly near rivers for a reason. You could either brew alcohol, which takes time, effort, skill AND food which you could actually eat instead of breweing, or you could just, y'know, head to the nearest body of water, fill up a barrel, boil it and have enough to sate the thirst of your entire family for a month.

People drinking alcohol instead of water makes NO fucking sense, and if you just believe this shit without even bothering to think about it then you're a sheep

The trick is to stop wanting to watch porn rather than just forcing yourself to watch. Realize that porn is unimpressive and the artificially pent up sexual charge you get from pornography will dissipate. Don't pay heed if your boners stop being as hard as before for a while. My goal is to lose the ability to turn completely hard unless I'm with a woman I love.

It's by design, people and societies at large have lost their compasses. Look at what is happening objectively.

It is *impossible* to have a conversation on the public internet without influencing actors bringing down the level or steering the conversation into other directions, making the original conversation or problem lose all its importance.

We have all these "crises" happening in the real world, yet no one seems to be able to stop them or wants to do much about them. Politicians are feckless, they'll come onto stage and do speeches about how they will take new measures to tackle the problems but the "crisis" continues and people lose hope of things changing, most don't even go vote.

Welcome to clown world. Where everything matters but also doesn't matter, you don't know what is the truth or what isn't. You have nothing to latch onto but a bottomless pit so you cling to the internet and every day is the same fucking day. You do the same unimportant thing every fucking day and you stay in your little routine and nothing ever changes. Keep masturbating and consuming media, living in the internet.

I don’t know. Music makes me extremely happy and being able to find an entire album online in seconds rather than have to drive to a record shop and pick up an album makes my life immensely better. Also audiophile speaker systems are really fucking great. Housing costs suck and people have too many children though. Entire system is gonna collapse but I stopped caring about that or reading philosophy or critical theory when I realized I couldn’t change much about my surrounding as easily as I could change myself. Focusing on the “weather” (let’s call it) around oneself instead of menial day to day interactions and getting joy from just being a positive person to people isn’t healthy.

Well, I'm not sure if music counts as a physical need, that's one case of better technology actually being better for humans beyond their material needs.
I must say I don't think all technology is for the worse, more like not all technology is for the better, This is because technology is not your friend, it is a tool, and humans have been using it wrong more times than the opposite.
And yeah, I think it's not worth it to focus on things you can't control and the best is to try to change yourself. You can't change the system from the inside, you become the system. Just let it collapse under it's own imperfections.
