Did you ever think that you may be just a tad off kilter today? Feeling a little loopy? Don’t we all go a little mad sometimes? Apparently, this is something that could actually happen…mass insanity. The World Health Organization estimates that 500 million people around the world suffer from some psychological disorder. They predict that by 2020, depression will be the leading cause of death, right behind cardiovascular disease. People are living longer and having more time to think about how pointless and meaningless it can all get. Gregory Stock, a biophysicist from the University of California, believes that with new medical science, people may live to be 200! That is a long time to recollect and think of the days when all was swell and you were still in your prime, say 150 years ago. Although apocalyptic only in our minds, mass insanity may be the end to our civilization.
