Do you think there is such a thing as a great malaise of our era, and what is it in your opinion, if it does exist?

Some people think of things in this way and others do not. It just occurred to me that boredom could be seen in this way, that people typically of my age seem to be quite often chronically bored and over-stimulated…. Another one I could think of in this way would be depression and anxiety, both of which are so unfortunately widespread.

Does thinking of society and its trends in this way make sense to you? Do all eras and generations have their same problems, or are there certain social trends that are always very much of their time?
