If the latter then it'd affect boys and girls equally. The simplest explanation here is likely the right one i.e. the increase in mental disorders is real.

Nuclear destruction wasn't the same in key ways: - It was only a possibility. You also knew the nukes might not launch, the world might not end. - If the nukes did launch, it wouldn't be due to a moral failure of your own. - Altho

Yes. A lot of depression about the world is driven by left wing views. Women are more left wing than men, liberals are obviously more left wing than conservatives, and young people are more left wing than older people. So being young libera

Teenagers are impressionable and exist in an environment where they aren't allowed to seriously disagree with their teachers. They're also under huge pressure to conform to what seems popular. A lot of unrealistic climate doomeris

The sort of evidence that they claim exists. Data, statistical evidence, etc. The question here is not whether epidemiology can in theory establish causal links. It's whether it actually does so reliably. It has a poor track record so

Non-human physical explanations for climate change can include sunspot activity, the AMO, El Nino/La Nina events, volcanic activity, internal interactions and probably many others. Some are known but most aren't. That's why I

Agree that true consensus is rare, albeit only a problem in some fields. Physics and chemistry have no problems obtaining consensus on many facts, for example. I don't recognize that last part at all. Feels sometimes like modern news a

I don't quite follow, is that a reference to Exxon? They started looking at those claims in 1977 but temperatures had been falling (by the records of the time) from 1940 to 1975ish, so that would have been a big problem for concluding

Not been my experience but I guess it depends a lot on what you mean by proficiency. Also depends where you are and who you talk to. In the Nordics I never encountered a young person who wasn't nearly fluent in English. In bigger count

I prefer it. One reason is simply that MS haven't been fixing bugs in Win10 for a long time now, so Win11 is meaningfully less buggy and more consistent.
