The Futurist: The Misandry Bubble. - by Imran Khan Why does it seem that American society is in decline, that fairness and decorum are receding, that mediocrity and tyranny are becoming malignant despite the majority of the public being averse to such philosophies, yet the true root cause seems elusive?
What if everything from unsustainable health care and social security costs, to stagnant wages and rising crime, to crumbling infrastructure and metastasizing socialism, to the economic decline of major US cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore, could all be traced to a common origin that is extremely pervasive yet is all but absent from the national dialog, indeed from the dialog of the entire Western world?

Amusement parks like Coney Island drew huge crowds, as people poured into the park to forget about their troubles. New technology was being developed every day, and life was moving at a faster pace than ever before.
Even those who didn’t feel they were suffering from neurasthenia’s physical symptoms felt plagued by a sense of “unreality.” Modern “Neurasthenia” The Symptoms Do you feel lost, restless, or shiftless?
