@N3x3e
The problem is that he acts like the causation is proven.

@atafto
he suggests the causation is the result of income inequality creating psychosocial pressures that lead to social problems he uses to correlate.
N3x3e 1 month ago
He shows correlation (after a lot of data has been disregarded), but he shows absolutely no causation even though he claims that there is causation. This is junk science!

At 07:06 The mental illness chart conveniently leaves out Scandinavia. No doubt lack of sunlight gives those countries a disadvantage but looking at suicide rates in Wikipedia reveals that Canada is about the same as Scandinavians despite Canada having a more unequal income distribution. Please explain.

Its amazing especially for the depression line. In America is damned near against the law to admit you are unhappy - being 'sad' is an insult. Yet more that 1/4 of the entire population is depressed EVERY YEAR. Three times more than Japan, Spain, Italy and Germany! I have heard it said that depression is almost unknown in China - see what Americans REFUSE to admit is that humans are NOT individual but SOCIAL animals. Reread that 'pursuit of happiness' line and REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH!

This seems to be as well spoken as I would some day like to be when speaking about hemp as an international industrial wonder plant.
