Well, that is the ultimate philosophical rabbit hole.
If everyone is doing better objectively but have been hammered with propaganda so much that they subjectively believe they're doing worse, how do you square that?
I'd argue there's an easy solution in getting rid of the propagandists that are making everyone sad, so twitter, facebook etc.

- laidoffamazon 2y agoCoddling people for being wrong doesn’t seem like a scalable solution here.
