No, let's not talk about it.
Systems and tech bleed out concepts.
If you're a Dominic Monk, yes it's worth the conversation.
Serious discussion online is basically impossible, the shared frame of reference is orders of magnitude too weak.
People love to nitpick details on second-order concepts, but without a connection to first-order metaphysics, the conversation immediately dies on pre-requisite meanings that can't be communicated in 'one HN post'.
Mental health issues are a natural consequence of unbounded logic (machine supercharged),
unstructured knowledge (flat heirachy and chaos shaping the internet experience)
and 'public' relationships (random drop-ins trying to share common ground).
These problems will only get worse (sorry) and anyone who actually tries to fix it will take the blame for being mentally ill (unless they have serious prestige/support).
This post will not fix it.
