There is no singular “psyche of society”. That's an illusion that I think you're projecting onto the world. I do this sometimes; it can be difficult to avoid at times.You are talking about specific world events. The actual pschye of society has become rotten.
Everything that feels good releases dopamine. There is nothing inherently wrong with this. Dopamine is not a bad thing. Dopamine disorders are bad, but that's different.Instant dopamine from phones.
Also smart phones are fine. It's probably more helpful to think of them as small computers, which in turn are essentially intelligence augmenters for humans, among other things. It doesn't hurt that the entire knowledge base of the Internet is in most people's pockets in developed nations. People's grammar and spelling has generally improved on account of autocorrect, too.
The generation coming up right now is going to be so much smarter and more advanced than we ever were. And that's a really good thing.
These problems have always plagued young people. It's not exclusive to today's youth.Lack of experience in the 'real world', being controlled by emotion and lacking the ability to rationally discuss or think about anything.
Only with the right set of pessimistic doomer eyes…And you can see it night and day.
Idk, man. That's just being young, don't you think? That, or maybe you're just attracted to young women with social disorders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Everyone has a type; it's cool.I date all sorts of women for example, 20-40 years. The ones who are younger have this weird social disorder like they don't know how to connect with other people. They are scared to say the wrong thing. Scared to have an opinion.

This is kind of a broad-sweeping reductionist theory, isn't it? I think there are pros and cons, not just purely cons as you make it seem.Funnily enough the 30yo+ women who adopted the phone obsessed, social media lifestyle have the same flaws.
Nah, kids have it great today, with the one caveat being all the school shootings in the U.S. …I feel sorry for kids growing up now who realise all this but don't know how to get away from it because everyone around them is so deep in the bullshit.
