A comment on Alcoholics Anonymous vs. other approaches: the evidence is now in. Parent comment
I hear lots of people complain about how bad things are. So I ask them if they know the difference between typhus and typhoid.
They never do, because at least in developed countries we never see either of those.
As backup, I ask them how many people they know who have died of starvation, religious pogroms, or smallpox.
