   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

     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.)
