> Why there are so many people under mental health issues?
Prevalence is probably similar or lower, but information is so much easier to come by, and societal stigma about talking about it (rather than just going to a bar, or suffering in silence) is lower with the internet. Still everyone understands so much more about mental health now, and toxic relationships and many things that were once normalized deeply are breaking down
However everyone also is competing with everyone. You don’t get to be “one of the smartest person in town” anymore because the town includes everyone on the internet. We’re still dealing with the initial wave of everyone being connected.
