Content

Author Johann Hari (@JohannHari101) joins us this week to talk about his new book on the social causes of depression, Lost Connections. Rising depression as a signal something profound is going wrong on a societal level. Peter Theil's quest to cure depression with an app. Are we the loneliest society ever? Where does the resistance to exploring factors leading to depression that aren't biological come from?

This was an interesting episode. I agree with Hari when he talks about how our society talks about depression like its an aberration. We can't admit that we have some kind of problem. It reminds me of those creepy propaganda posters from north korea where everyone is smiling. Everything is sunny and happy. Its as if capitalism wants us to be like those people; happy little cogs in a machine.

As a millennial, I feel as if I don't know anybody my age who doesn't suffer from some sort of depression or anxiety. We're obviously suffering from an epistemic societal problem. Conservatives would have you believe that it's because the younger generation is whiny and lacks work ethic, but that's absolute psychotic nonsense.

so good, actually hearing relatable and important info on this topic is so refreshing. every time i think intellectuals understand the nuance that i seem to understand in regards to this topic, i am supremely mistaken

Can you make this one public? There are so many people who need to hear this analysis. Maybe when you get your YouTube channel up.
