I read this article after being posted in "the other place", within the comments there was this very insightful and thought provoking comment. I will post it in the comments, I thought it was worthy of us all.

maybe you should be familiar before replying.

[-] Sergio@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

Fair enough. It reminded me of something I WAS familiar with, and I hoped maybe we could discuss things and find commonalities. But I ain't mad atcha.

Why down vote them with two accounts though? Their link seemed reasonably related.

[-] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Because despite having both a three day old account, and an account that's several hours old at this point, this isn't going the way he hoped.

I thought that long ass post he made was from the article, but it looks more like a long winded way of saying people are depressed because they're not not depressed, and the secret to be not depressed is to just not be depressed. The world is exactly the same as it was before, and we didn't move the ball forward at all, and with this comment I'm just as much to blame because I don't have any suggestions to offer, either.
