@grey I really think people need to think deeper about these issues because the stats we have are only the very 'tip of the iceberg' when I comes to the broader scope and scale of the problems driving the trends.
Which is what makes it so horrifying. People who know the stakes can only point to stats that the experts dismiss as "taken out of context" while the people just watch actual issues get worse and worse before their eyes.
I hate how in the age of such extreme top down tyranny and abuse academia and other similar institutions get basically no blame for ushering in so much of it, despite carrying water for it for decades.
