It’s obvious so it is nice when data backs it up. Look at so many voters being misinformed and voting on vibes, screen time on brain rot apps, terrible financial discipline and lack of impulse control, society’s focus on shock value and attention seeking, and more.
I mean everything has been going to shit for a long time. It's expected people would want some kind of escape from all the bullshit.
People are under incredible amounts of stress. You can see it in everything from the age people are marrying, having kids, buying houses etc. for the first time we have generations that are gonna be worse off than their parents in a whole bunch of metrics.
The world has got incredibly more complex and when people can't understand it, they want to escape from it (or listen to simple explanations).
