Date: May 15th, 2024 9:31 PM Author: white infuriating toilet seat For one thing it’s identified more often that’s all
For another perhaps social factors of isolation and social intransigence play a role. Huge economic disparities between top 1 percent and the rest plays a role also at least according to studies. This last is highly distressing apparently.
What that last means for politics and social structuring after everyone reaches a baseline affluence remains to be seen but can be guessed at for sure.
I’m giving you a high iq answer but that won’t be recognized even here. |

Date: May 16th, 2024 12:00 AM Author: excitant marketing idea Humans are deeply social. Our brains turned grunting and scratching lines into enormously complex language so we could coordinate group behavior.
Within a group you can specialize in roles that enable group survival. Depressed guy has a role to play even if he does not gather as much food or father as many children. He still passes on genes either by randomly fathering the occasional kid or helping the group that includes less depressed relatives who still carry some of the same genes (either recessive or expressed differently based on mix or experience). Also playing that role keeps depression in check so you are realistic guy who shoots down bad ideas and doesn’t waste energy on fruitless tasks and get overexcited about everything, not suicidal guy who stays in bed all day (no one would feed or protect that guy and he’d be dead in a month).
Modernity has systematically severed group ties and enabled a bunch of maladaptive spiraling behavior while preserving a safety net so depressed people don’t rapidly starve. Hence you see a surplus of depressed people manifesting worse symptoms for longer and not playing their original role in the group (because they are mostly isolated from groups). |

Date: May 16th, 2024 12:02 AM Author: massive french chef ape The very concept of "depression" is modern and Anglo and created by Jews to take money from Goys via "anti depressent drugs" and "therapy"
If you read any eastern Religions this becomes obvious. Being up and down is a normal part of the human pysche. Goys use to understand this too and deal with it like men but now everyone has been brainwashed by Jews that its wrong to feel down. Then you feel ashamed of being depressed and that just makes you more depresssed. Buddhism talks abt this.
You freaks are so indoctrinated by Jews though you never will figure this out. All your "medicines" and therapy are just making shit worse, you can't fix shit without proper mental outlook and changing your stupid isolated Jew society.
In short, Jew Jew Jew Jew Jew |

Date: May 16th, 2024 12:14 AM Author: titillating fortuitous meteor People have all sorts of dysfunctions that are clearly not adaptive. Schizophrenia isn’t adaptive. Having an 80 IQ isn’t adaptive (at least for most of human history). Being a homo isn’t adaptive. Evolution can only weed out dysfunctional mutations at a certain rate and is constrained by organism complexity. Depression could easily arise out of a normal psychological response to social stress that goes haywire in certain people.

Date: May 16th, 2024 12:24 AM Author: excitant marketing idea 80 IQ is sufficient to find food and shelter, reproduce, and fight opponents effectively. Extra IQ points lead to more stuff and things higher up the hierarchy of needs, but that’s not necessarily “adaptive” unless you’re redefining adaptive to mean able to compose music or draft a tight purchase agreement rather than what most people mean which is survive and reproduce.

Date: May 16th, 2024 1:12 AM Author: titillating fortuitous meteor I mean in the sense of being able to acquire multiple mates and provide for offspring. Even in hunter-gatherers, there was clearly an evolutionary push for better cognition in more complex environments (hence all the people who live in equatorial areas being retarded). I don’t think being that stupid would have been to anyone’s advantage for most of human history and certainly not as society become more complex and permitted more elaborate hierarchies that would require competency to ascend. There’s only so much evolution can do though given that the brain is highly polygenic and there are many ways for things to go wrong.
