Young men dropping out of the job market to spend time in an alternate reality

This is the same kind of "advice" depressed people get. "Have you tried getting better"? "You just need to be happy". "Try my coping mechanism". "See a standup comedian". "Just try".

I hope I don't have to go through all the reasons this is fundamentally disconnected from the problem described in the article now.

Thanks, but this gives me nothing actionable. What am I supposed to do with this? Just be depressed?

I'm not prepared for this hypothetical, who knows what I would do, I guess I might even launch a startup.
