It’s unbelievable indulgent and myopic to claim that now is the most stressful and complicated time to exist while living in a country with a history including slavery, multiple wars, Native American genocide, and where most people couldn’t even vote for much of the time. Good Lord. Get some perspective.

Actually it is a proven fact that hunter gatherers lived a lifestyle with more leisure time and better treatment of women than after the transition to agricultural society.

“"Did our hunter-gatherers have it better off?" James Lancester asks in a recent issue of The New Yorker.

"We're flattering ourselves by believing that their existence was so grim and that our modern, civilized one is, by comparison, so great," Lancester writes.”

“A study back in the 1960s found the Bushmen have figured out a way to work only about 15 hours each week acquiring food and then another 15 to 20 hours on domestic chores. The rest of the time they could relax and focus on family, friends and hobbies.”

Yes, I long for an era when I could squat in a field and give birth? Or sleep on rocks.

I kind of do. If you’ve given birth in a hospital it’s really not nice if you don’t absolutely need to be there. And I’m pretty sure our hunter gatherer ancestors made themselves comfortable at night however they could.

The point is, a lot of the creature comforts we have now have come at an exceptional cost in terms of one’s ability to simply live without working all the time.

Why do you all spend so much time and energy looking for some justification to call yourself a victim? Your lives are not that bad. Grow up.

I’m not a victim. If anything I’m one of the few people on the planet benefitting from having things the way they are, but I do see the long term consequences of aimless kids growing up to be fragile aimless humans. See the the recent thread on the classified doc leak for an example.

Kids are not more aimless today than in previous generations. Young women are as engaged as ever. Young men have f*ed up their lives and the lives of people around them for ages. Thankfully, we are much less dependent on them as the women are ready to take over.

Wow... How convenient that you leave off the host off issues like anxiety and depression that's plaguing young women today. And how naive to think that young women can be happy without well adjusted young men and vice versa. Your mentally is the reason people are so aimless today.

I think you are way off the mark. Boys still running the show and it shows. I’m all about women taking over and redefining our economy as a maternalistic one that takes better care of everyone but that is not what’s happening. Lol. Bros everywhere.

I think physically our lives are a lot less stressful and easier to exist. But our mental burdens are much much greater. People centuries ago lived simple lives, did their daily honest (usually physical) work, went home, slept, repeat. There was a stronger sense of family, community, religion. People knew who they were and where they belonged. Relationships lasted your whole life and weren't torn apart by distance and people moving.

Yes, slaves in the American South certainly were living in a stress-free environment where family wasn’t torn apart. Those Native Americans on the Trail of Tears were just enjoying a nice walk.

What is wrong with you?? My God.

Aren’t young women these days reporting record-high rates of suicide and suicidal ideation?

Are you not aware yet that we are discussing hunter gatherer societies and not the antebellum south? You are arguing with yourself.

Ahhh those good old days... when a lot of mothers - and infants - died during or shortly after birth.

We thought that women would temper the toxic masculinity that our culture is built upon but instead women just became toxic and aggressive themselves.

Unfettered “capitalism” does that. Free markets become unfree if corrupt leaders won’t do the hard work of regulating them and putting the cost of the negative externalities of certain commercial activity where it belongs.

NP.

The exploding rates of teen depression, spiking teen suicide, crisis leve fentanyl use, decreasing life expectancy in the US, and overall lowering of satisfaction are obvious proof:

- something is wrong.

Feel free to disagree with the author of the video as to root causes.

But only a complete moron would argue there is not a crisis facing youth in the US today.
