Our technologies have met our every need except for pacification from want which has now led us to an [[ecological crisis]]. Our culture primes us to believe that there is one villain at fault Rothchilds, Illuminati, Darth Vader... but in fact, there is no conspiracy or person to blame it is simply an emergent phenomenon of the system we are in. | Our technologies have met our every need except for pacification from want which has now led us to an [[ecological crisis]].

Evolution is about the survival of the fittest. Over time characteristics that made us less able in the world were replaced by characteristics which make us more able in the world. With 5.0% of adults in the world suffering from depression<ref>https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depression</ref> this poses an evolutionary paradox as to why depression exists. The brain plays crucial roles in promoting survival and reproduction, so the pressures of evolution should have left our brains resistant to such high rates of malfunction. Mental disorders should generally be rare and be getting rarer — ''so why is depression so common and even more growing?'' | Evolution is about the survival of the fittest.

Depression is a subjective issue with little to no objective parameters, one can only assume that the disease is partly caused by internal biochemistry and external circumstance. Perhaps higher rates of depression are being caused by external, societal issues? | Depression is a subjective issue with little to no objective parameters, one can only assume that the disease is partly caused by internal biochemistry and external circumstance.
