The interesting thing is that the death of individual responsibility didn't make people (in aggregate) any happier.

It could have, or you could imagine a world where it could have, but the kids and teens are (apparently) reporting that they're more miserable than ever.

I think the goal was to remove shame, which seems like noble enough a goal. But it hasn't helped. Can we come up with a way to say, as a society, "whatever it is may not be your fault, but you're still the only one who can do anything about it and you might be better off if you view it through that lens"?
