Why does everyone I know seem anxious all the time? Evolutionary psychology has an answer… Humans evolved in hunter-gatherer societies & worked about 15–20 hours a week, outdoors, surrounded by community, with bursts of stress… not constant pressure Today we have nonstop demands, information overload, artificial environments, long commutes, less sunlight, less nature, & weaker community bonds It’s an evolutionary mismatch Chronically elevated cortisol Rising anxiety & depression Maybe the problem isn’t us Maybe it’s the world we built

By manufacturing an external crisis, a leader forces the population to choose between their grievances & their country. This concept is driven by the "Rally 'round the flag" effect, a political survival tactic used to preserve power. • External Distraction: War replaces domestic anger (economy/corruption) with a foreign enemy, shifting the public focus from the leader’s failures to a survival threat. • Forced Unity: Conflict triggers an "us vs. them" instinct. Dissent is silenced by social pressure, as criticizing the state during wartime is branded as treason. • Centralized Control: A state of emergency allows leaders to legally suppress protests and expand surveillance under the guise of "national security." image
