I don't have a source, but I've been hearing that this is just common among young people everywhere. They blamed social media for Americans.
> They blamed social media for Americans. I think you meant "blamed Americans for social media" but at this point they both kinda fit
Clickbait/editorializing in submission title. Also: Paper doesn't robustly support this statement. The actual title of the paper: "Flourishing in Sweden: Great overall — but not for all" But the poster clearly knows what kind of title makes a post fly.
> ... our findings highlight notable disparities—particularly among young adults—that underscore the need for more targeted efforts to promote flourishing across all segments of Swedish society.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd blame technology altogether. People are losing their purpose.
I'd blame the ever decreasing ratio between salaries and the cost of living. And the fact that salaries don't really grow for years now, while the productivity, and so the generated wealth, does.
I loathe the "pop critique" employment of the phrase, but this is definitionally late-stage capitalism.
obviously capitalism is named as such because it is founded upon the concept of (private) capital. capital serves to lower margins and increase profitability. it has been remarkably successful and has immensely raised QoL for virtually the planet's entire population. we are now reckoning with its inevitable consequences. manpower is unreliable. it gets sick. it has children. it has eccentricities. it is fundamentally unpredictable. Capital seeks efficiency and reliability. What percentage of the population is capable of building data centers? Of engineering massive scale LLMs?
What happens when Capital no longer needs labor?
This is one of those topics where everyone is going to insert their personal bête noire as the cause. "Tech, the economy, culture, immigrants, loss of religion, corruption, polarization, capitalism, socialism!". I actually really like threads like this, since it's a good way to get a pulse on what the different discontentment topics are at any given time.
hmm what a mystery. I wonder why
