Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.
Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.
This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

We're the healthiest and smartest generation in the last hundred or so years on average per person, yet due to a variety of systemic factors we're all totally handicapped to producing positive changes towards helping one another let alone many, and it's largely down to our systems being completely shit.
Companies want people to be healthy and smart to do work. But they also want people to be divided to smaller groups (e.g. bullshit rule about not telling your salary to coworkers). And companies pay as less as people can withstand so we will want to work more. And by working more we are more closed minded and angry and don't have a time to be kinder.
Idk if that's makes sense, but I'm just sad because of inequality and people (poor, short sighted people) willing to defend it.
Citation needed. The smartest and healthiest generation might have been GenX instead, GenZlers have seen overall decline in health, live expectancy and mental health.
