Doctors prescribe antidepressants as a lifesaving measure. A person suffering depression has an absurdly higher probability of committing suicide than somebody who doesn't. In fact, an overwhelming majority of people who commit suicide suffer from depression. When a doctor prescribes antidepressants, they aren't rubbing their hands together waiting for a big payout from big pharma. They are doing it because they want the patient to not die, which is a noble gesture on behalf of a doctor.
Antidepressants "don't work" for a lot of people. I've known people who have been on them for several decades and have remained perpetually miserable. The probability of somebody eventually managing to correct the problems causing their depression is grim, but it's no where near as grim as the probability that they would commit suicide without the medication.
Antidepressants are like floatation devices for people lost at sea. You are much less likely to drown with one, but you still need to paddle ashore yourself. Some people just float there getting knocked back and forth by the ocean forever. That's a pretty glum way to be. But at least society doesn't have to deal with the weight of that person's death.
Interestingly, the term 'bread and circuses' is derived from Juvenal's Satires, wherein he too laments that things in 2nd century Rome just aren't the same as they used to be.
You gain a bonus +1 to intelligence
for expressing disdain for pop music or anyone who enjoys it. However, you also suffer -1 to charisma for being insufferable.
Despite the attempts by the big brained and very smart among us to distance themselves from the ice cold hand that is pop music, we are one and the same species as those who produce and consume pop music. Pop music being a major facet of our culture, I believe this study reflects on us as a whole, and what it indicates is that human beings are growing isolated from one another, sad, and angry. That makes me feel bad.

Although it is very sad that innocent children sometimes die due to the anti-science viewpoints of their parents, at least the dumb genes will be killed off, thus ensuring a brighter future for humanity. The problem should solve itself in a few generations.

This is the Slashdot equivalent of clickbait.

Reminds me of that isolate tribe of people on a remote island who throws spears at helicopters.

Still cheaper than hiring a team of greasy teenagers.

The cat will get out of the bag eventually. What matters is whether it happens sooner than later.
