1/ We live in a period of time characterized by great instability in all aspects of existence, and we are entering a period of even greater instability. A crisis is looming.

2/ The average human being cannot tolerate insecurity and not knowing what to expect. For decades now, the pace of change in the world far exceeds our capability to properly adapt to it.

3/ A stable social order, a trust that tomorrow will resemble today, a shared system of beliefs and values that enable community and progress towards a common direction is a thing of the past.

4/ And, as far as I can tell, it is never coming back. Not on a large-scale at least. Fragmentation will only continue. The rails are set, and the train will only follow along them.

5/ People are losing their minds, and will continue to, because a place in the world, an identity, a purpose, are no longer a guarantee, no longer provided by society, externally.

6/ The human need for significance and meaning far outweighs the importance of any other need. Absent of the means for significance and meaning, one feels without their identity.

7/ The arrested development of many people in the West, coupled with the lack of external stabilizers, create an inner void, a fear, a deep insecurity. They find no ground to stand on.

8/ When your environment denies you the means of individuation, as is the case for most Millenials, you are denied the benefit of personal experience, first-hand knowledge, maturity.

9/ You are like an empty shell. And anyone/anything can enter and decorate it -an ideology, a belief system, an "insight". You simply do not possess the means to personally discern between things.

10/ People in the West are losing their minds because their environment denies them the possibility and elements of basic human individuation : Expression, Experimentation, Experience.

11/ It is more accurate to say that people are losing themselves in their minds. Their last accessible means of individuation is their mind: thus they become cerebral consumers of information.

True, but from a societal point of view, once you go outside the accepted standard of behaviour, you "loose it". I assume most arhants by western standards would be considered mad, as all abstractions and false realities are gone from their mind.
