How much of the current general mental health crisis is directly attributable to people trying to navigate life with a warped understanding of how everything works?
@threalist couldn't give a number. but being deliberately miseducated about life combined with no social fabric probably doesn't help much no
@threalist a lot i'd say. I myself don't really know how stuff works in many aspects but have to keep on going
I was just kind of musing that is easy to understand mental health issues when things are the way they are in current year, but it's kind of reverse.
Things are all backwards because of all the insane ideologies

@threalist some of the books and essays i've been reading lately talk about the corporate siege mentality.
people are apparently happiest in some service positions where they can actually see the effect they had on other people. the more distant they are from seeing that what they do matters the sadder they are.
they are most productive in a tribe where they aren't strictly competing with one another and can delegate work around. it's kind of like being willing to admit you don't know something and asking vs. trying to hide that you don't know something so it can't be weaponized. (sineck calls it a 'circle of safety' but its basically just tribal dynamics.)

All very true, and before you posted that, I was thinking that a good explanation of what I mean would be comparing an Amish person's understanding of reality to a sixth year liberal art student's understanding of reality.

@threalist All of it, ask anyone what religion do they have? they won't be able to answer or will be wrong most of the time.
Ask anyone where do their moral values come from, again, they won't be able or will be wrong.
