Quoted By:
you'll notice the suicide rates align closley with that map as well, if you check
it's a function of how much shit the population has to worry about
if you live in materially higher conditions & don't have to worry about your next meal, you have more time to think/ruminate, which means you're more likely to:
- suicide
- hallucinate & see UFOs from being so fucking bored
- enjoy beatboxing competitions
kids working 10 hours per day in a lithium mine are much less likely to do those things
higher suicide rates are a sign of higher standards of living in a country
