1. life has gone better based on data - this means there is more opportunity to being successful. if you are still not successful then it becomes your problem. it is more like lost opportunity has more cost in today's world.

2. human mind scales input to output - emotional output range is fixed. if input is low, we become more sensitive, thereby retaining same emotional output range. in today's better society, people are becoming more sensitive due to this reason, so with higher sensitivity you react to more things (and random things like what you see on social media).

3. we disorderize more - once we label as (depressed/anxious....) it becomes a self-fulfulling profecy.

4. social media - having lot of random stuff - doesnt help to create stream of consciousness story. its rathere mix of random unconnected happenings.
