Let me answer that question with a question.

Why the FUCK do they keep asking this question they will flat out fucking REFUSE to listen every single time? They already know it, but they do not give a shit.

GDP per capita, the survey finds, is inversely correlated with this sense of meaning: The wealthier a country gets, the more bereft of meaning its citizens feel.

The researchers also found that these results were likely explained by secularism in richer nations.

Profit goes up, happiness goes down. Nah, must be the secularism, folks just need god.

He did also mention "technologically mediated socialising" -- pretty sure that's code for "it's the phones".

this is ragebait to me at this point. Either they're mocking us for the hell they've created, or they're truly alienated from society so far that toppling them should've been trivial by now.
