The destruction of the two parent home will be the thing that brings about the destruction of this country. Just look at the statistics and it’s incredibly obvious.

Has Ryno shown up and blamed porn yet?

Socially? Of course it is. Everything is exposed, and dumbed down
Common social fabrics have been destroyed. Nuclear family for one. Norms which held abhorrent behavior in check are dying
All of these were problems every adult in the 1960’s worried about.
You have a good argument. But so did they. I don’t think we are any closer to doomsday than they thought they were.

And I think people think too shallow most of the time

And even so, it would seem as we solve some of societies woes, we develop new ones
More anxiety and depression than ever, more polarization, less understanding, spending more time indoors, getting fatter..
The good thing is we run in cycles. Hopefully kids growing up today reject the sterile world we live in and go on a 1970s-ish quest to find themselves.

What you got?
I read something from a philosophy professor that argued “marriage is racist”.

I don’t think it was the American dream. I think to many people think they can achieve the American dream from the dumb shits in Washington without having to work for it. I’ve been doing my part by voting out all incumbents that run for office at the state and federal level

The demise of the nuclear family.

Compare most stats to the 80s and 90s

But that isn’t regressing, that is just changing
i just can't see any major category where we're improving as a country. we're fat and unhealthy, increasingly lazy, and the family unit is crumbling.

I can’t necessarily name the biggest factor but we are pret near fricked.

I see a lot of social media reasoning posts. While on the surface I agree, I do not agree on the genesis. Isolation tech started well before social media. What happened - to me - is smart people saw what people can be influenced by and exploited it. When tech drew people indoors, we were fricked.

Doomsday? Nah. A sterile, soulless, mindless society of drones? You bet.
Advertising and analytics have advanced so far that it's scary
