As a gen X I always think it's kinda weird how Gen Z (or whatever is the last), care about health considered the shitty world they're supposed to meet.
I understand your pov, consider I'm European, we didn't had the opioids wave. In Europe heroin unfortunately became more popular in the last decade but the problem is far away from the Us one.
I've seen, listened and read a lot about the Us crisis and it's absolutely nasty. Maybe I should have thought about that before I dropped my post, but you know, we lives in our bubbles.
I know a girl which had a dear friend going down af. He could ring her in the middle of the night cause he had too much cocaine and couldn't hold himself.
So she usually had to get up and go at his place otherwise he used to get heroin in order to slow down himself. What a fucking life.
When she told me that I realized how some guys I used to know got into heroin addiction. It wasn't the drug itself, the were covaine abuset, but that triggered a secondary need that later on threw them in a even bigger problem.
This is not just about tech or drugs, these people has deeper problems (thinking about Musk or Thiel). Narcissism? Inferiority complex? Probably both.
They always been on the wrong side of the history, they made plenty of money and still they look akward.
