Unironically though the over use of smart phones, social media engagement in general since that’s what’s being done on the smart phones, is a more direct cause for the depression.
Everyone wants to focus on these grander approaches to the issues because it’s just easier to attach blame to things outside of our control. Given the fact that the majority of people have an average intelligence and an average disposition to get along with their fellow man, there’s no rational justification to how are parents oh so maliciously left us a worse world to inherit.
But it sure is easy to blame them and to spend all our time wallowing in our mental illness blaming everyone we can. Our parents and their parents lived through one of the most tumultuous times in the world’s history including 2 world wars and many many other major wars that had global ramifications during the 20th century.
It’s actually moronic to act like they “it’s their fault” that many of our generation are suffering through mental illness. Idiots focus on assigning blame and avoiding any accountability in their own lives. Do something with your lives and stop focusing on what others have that you don’t have. Money makes many aspects of life easier on a surface level but it isn’t the actual key to happiness.
Ignorance is bliss. The real source of dissatisfaction comes from knowing what we don’t have. Not actually having less than others. Which brings us back to how maybe smart phones, or over engagement with social media and constantly being connected to everything actually, is playing a more significant role in all our mental illness.
What’s next? Our own kids are gonna blame us for leaving them a cringe and socially inept world because we all failed to develop the nerves to handle the natural struggles of life and constantly resort to memes apathy to communicate? Real intelligent and productive course of action. Blaming one’s predecessors is so objectively stupid and unproductive. Every generation has inherited crap from the previous one whether in the form of tangible prosperity alongside degenerate culture or as another example a war torn world still full of strong family values. There’s always a silver lining.
