Your comment 'flies in the face' of the fact that suicide has not materially changed that much in 50 years [1] (it's up a couple of points since 1980) - and the fact that rates of suicide are currently, literally almost 1/2 what they were before WW2. [2] Once again proving my point: flippant assertions that 'the world is hard' when actual data suggests just the opposite. Taking your example, suicide, we're very materially, measurably, scientifically, much better off.
