We're in a tough time. The order of the old is conflicting with the order of the new. It's getting more and more difficult for people to be happy and follow their dreams in life unlike previously. The next two decades are going to be really interesting to see what happens.

More and more people are realizing how pointless everything is, and so they decide to take the only realistic option that's left.

>Americans don't know about Japanese and Scandinavian suicide rates I can understand why Japs are killing themselves in record numbers (goddamn Japanese society is fucking stressful, imagine being a neckbeard in Japan), but why exactly are swedes and Finns offing themselves at such rates? Is is living in the snow that is causing this much depression or what is it?

>>5679608 I've always had this sort of ridiculous, abstract thought that if humanity were to ever achieve 'enlightenment', we would all kill ourselves immediately, seeing as it is simply the most logical course of action now that humanity has reached the 'end-state'. Maybe it doesn't even take enlightenment to drive humans to suicide though logic.

>>5679631 It's from living in the far north. Long winters, short days, not enough sunlight; causes depression. Canadians living in the Territories have the same problem, although they're more prone to murder than suicide.

>>5679622 I read an article a while back that stated that depression is an evolutionary trait that existed for a long time. The shunned and weak would get depressed and go off alone into the jungle/forest to get eaten by predators. Because of that the rest of the group would have one less leach to take care of and be stronger as a whole. Don't know how much of this is true and I can't remember where i read it so don't take this too seriously.

In a society where it's almost impossible to die from malnutrition or conflict there's no way to be tested to evolutionarily drive the gene pool further, as a result those with the self assessed low genetic relevance are removing themselves from the gene pool instinctively This is why you don't see high suicide rates in harsh countries like Africa, they're too busy trying to survive than to get depressed over things At least this is my theory

all you need is love and a plot of land to grow food. a lot of people are on welfare looking for corporate jobs when they can actually employ themselves to do something.

It's a systemic problem. Society shits all over everyone, if you're lucky you're born into a family with enough money to be comfortable. Even if you are, you'll get to a point where society will shit directly on you, and you'll have to learn how to deal with it. Some people can't do that, so many will become sociopaths, some will simply give up and go homeless, and some will kill themselves. This is what capitalist society does. By pitting everybody against each other and punishing those who can't cope, our society is slowly killing itself for the financial benefit of a few rich, greedy people living on the top of the pyramid.

>>5682711 Life is not supposed to be a competition. Think of all the things that could have been if the human race was not distracted by money. We could be on Mars by now. Hell we could be exploring the galaxy. But no, we're stuck down here, paying our bills, working our lives away just to stay alive. When you truly understand that, suicide seems like a valid option.

>>5682831 What? Who said anything about Russia? If the human race hadn't been obsessed with currency since the middle ages we would be exploring the galaxy by now. But even taking the space race into acount, if we had stopped capitalism immediately after it, we would still be alot more advanced. The drive for profit is a hinderance to progress, not the driving force of it.
