Paper: The Illusion of the Mental Algorithm: The Psychological Crisis and the Transcendental Emptying of Youth

A comprehensive meta-analysis from The Lancet Psychiatry documents an unprecedented collapse in youth mental health globally. The study empirically demonstrates that hyper-digitization, the dissolution of real community ties, and constant exposure to immanent validation metrics have triggered a state of massive psychological entropy. This epidemiological crisis of hopelessness forcefully dismantles the reductionist worldview that postulates the human mind as a mere neurochemical stimulus-response algorithm. The observed clinical devastation reveals that the human brain, when deprived of its teleological social environment and transcendental purposes, suffers measurable physiological and cognitive deterioration.
