Humans are better known as Homo Socialis. We aren't individually intelligent but socially so and as such, we need external connection and that connection is validation. While we can't get lost in the idea of emeshment, where we become NPCs to others, we also can't ignore it. I think the loss of balance there results in what I'd call narcasisitic NPCs and is manifest in the explosion of cluster B tendencies.
“Physically, we’ve never been safer compared to our ancestors. Psychologically, we’ve never had the simultaneous luxury of physical safety combined with access to worldwide reasons to feel unsafe. Rumination rules the roost.”
The negative ruminating is killing us. Your prescription of building a solid core of virtues and values and continuous checking to maintain alignment with these is exactly right. One of your best essays, Kyle! 👏

You have a way of making shit sound way cooler and more intelligently thought out
Lol. I'm just trying to keep up! But you have motivated a new essay for me based on this one (which will be referenced)

The loss of balance is almost always the root cause of the problem.
