Warning Young Folks: Silence When We Are All Gone [YouTube]
This is by Prof. Sam Vaknin who was preparing the syllabus curriculum for next year's first semester on the psychology of the young. In doing his research he ran into some big problems which he discusses in the video.
"I must say that I'm shaken to my foundations."
I edited some of the transcript below:
There are two possibilities, either everything we think we know in psychology is wrong or there's a new subspecies of humanity homo sapiens 2.0 that has nothing to do, psychologically speaking, with all previous generations going back to the time of abraham.
The people I talk to they have no emotions. They think they have emotions. They do emotions. They simulate emotions. They have no emotions.
The people I talk to, the people I read about, but the studies show these people have sex without commitment, without emotion, they openly admit that the sex is perfunctory, fast meaningless. In 20% of the cases they don't know the name of their sex sexual partner. They regard the partner's body as a masturbatory tool. Tool for masturbation a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] or a sex dog.
Pass each other like ships in the night. They don't really communicate. I went through a treasure trove, a database, a horde of chat transcripts. It's an abomination. There's no real communication at all [Just very short one-liners.]. So they have no emotions. Their sex is mechanical, short, brief, disappointing. Many of them abstain from sex altogether.
The rate of relationship failure in this group under age 35, the rate of relationships failure is mind-boggling. First of all they have an average of nine relationships before they reach 30. And what they call relationships is also in great doubt and question, but even these exact fake imitation relationships don't work. All of them fail with no exception.
The rate of marriage, which is a proxy for relationships, you don't have to get married to have a relationship of course but it's a good, it's a good proxy, it's a good kind of standard, good test. The rate of marriage has collapsed precipitously. Precipitously a huge portion of these people live as singles most of their lives. Actually there's a hookup culture. That is only on paper. They don't even hook up anymore.
It's a psychopathic landscape. Absolutely psychopathic landscape devoid of empathy. Devoid of connectiveness. Devoid of emotions. Devoid of meaningful sex. Devoid of meaning at all. Rates of anxiety and depression among these these age groups have quintupled, and this was three years before the pandemic. We know that the pandemic has tripled this rate. Addictions, 40 million people in the united states alone are constantly drunk. Constantly drunk in a state of inebriation as defined by the relevant psychological authorities. More than more than half of young people binge drink to the point of alcoholic blackout every single week.
They're aimless. None of them is excited by the future. They go through the motions. They're zombified. They're the walking dead. Of course, the recession didn't help. The great recession, the pandemic didn't help but previous generation had similar minor events like world war ii and the holocaust, you know.
