Sane people understand how bad social media and screen time is for children, but even many of those same people haven't come to terms with how adults are affected by social media, screens, apps, etc.

> individualism often led people to focus solely on their own lives and interests, leaving them indifferent to the well-being of their neighbors and their communities. This lack of civic engagement, he argued, made it easier for despots to establish tyrannical rule. A despot thrives on individual apathy and the absence of civic virtue.

An actual global conflict is more likely to rely on $100 drones than a $1 trillion fighter program.
Every time people judge a middle eastern leader for being a bad guy, they take that leader out and it turns out the bad guy was actually holding back an even worse guy.
Most of humanity knew how to live lives that made them happy, but we deconstructed and tore down all the things that made us happy because they were also the things that were difficult and would hold us to account to standards. People thought that once you removed standards and taking responsibility for things that all that's left is happiness, but in reality it's at least trying to hit high standards and at least trying to take responsibility that is the only thing that can help you achieve lasting happiness.
I don't want to be misunderstood as saying there's no such thing as mental health issues, but the *crisis* we face is separate from that. People have always been mentally ill, but it wasn't a civilizational crisis until we tore down everyone's meaning, values, and sense.
"Mental Health" is in some ways a community issue, where individuals are sick because the culture is sick, and common morality is a community solution, helping everyone pull in the same virtuous direction.
Most people who think today is particularly unique don't understand history. We had a lot of technology through many different eras. People had high levels of social cohesiveness during the modern era that preceded the postmodern era we live in where most of our technologies already existed. It was the collapse of meaning in the postmodern era that seems to have correlated with the crises we face.

They manipulate any free market elements and also don't influence pricing for the benefit of consumers.

True that many votes for Trump are a vote against the uniparty and in a way, just a continuation of the Tea Party.
