Why do you assume the Western way to he superior if people lead happy lives with a basis in their local tradition? This thread's comments are dripping with Western hubris, as if our way over the last ten tears is enlightened and true where foreign culture is "backwards" from where we are.

The West is depressed, anxious, and suffering from widescale apathy for the things that used to give life meaning, such as family and religion. We try to fill the hole with empty dopamine loops and substances like alcohol or weed, or addictions like sex, porn, or endless scrolling.

How dare we say that we have it right, and that other cultures are wrong?
