In addition to the alienation of capitalism, I wonder if this chart is showing us some of the worst effects of having a hyper-individualistic society?
Today's seniors would have been getting bootstrap-pilled damn near from birth, and maybe that's what we're seeing here?
And just speaking personally, after making it 70+ years on this planet and seeing all the death, I feel like that would make me want more connection in my life, not less.

Time spent with comrades: :stonks-up:
There's something I want to say to tie our individualized society into this as a symptom of late stage capitalism, but the words aren't coming to me.
I've grieved in my life but it has never stopped me from seeking out new relationships because they're worth the hurt at the end.
