The Suicide Gene is a feature of high latitude populations alone (Nordic whites, Indians, Arctic tribes, Lapps, Japanese, Siberian).<\/p>\n<p>* Maybe the generational explanation is that he \u201cGreatest Generation\u201d remained silent as the country went from being 90% to majority Brown?<\/p>\n<p>They allowed WWII to be reframed as a war against \u201cWhite racism\u201d in the public mind and didn\u2019t correct the record. Because they liked being patted on the head as heroes so much.<\/p>\n<p>* Drug use and divorce I recall peaking in the late 70\u2032s and very early 80\u2032s. So did several measures of sexual promiscuity.<\/p>\n<p>The mid-70\u2032s were the peak period for middle-middle class incomes relative to the rich. Unions were still powerful, only cheap junk was being made in Asia and Mexico, not cars or appliances, and the stock market was in the crapper.<\/p>\n<p>The first prestige industries taken over by Asians were calculators by the Japanese in the late 70\u2032s, when they were still very expensive, then televisions in the early 80\u2032s, and then video games in the mid-80\u2032s, when Nintendo displaced Atari.<\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/isteve\/why-did-middle-aged-white-death-rates-increase-from-1998-through-2013\/\">MORE COMMENTS<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>* It\u2019s common for Tribal People to die off like this when they realize their Tribe has no Future.<br \/>\nWhen they see that they have no place in the New World, that they are Unwanted, Unwelcome Relics of the Old World \u2026 they lose the Will to Live.<\/p>\n<p>* Being middle-aged, everyone I know who has died in the last ten years, as well as those I know now who will probably die soon, did a lot of cocaine in the seventies and eighties. Robin Williams didn\u2019t surprise me at all. <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/19867-cocaine-ages-brain-shrink.html\">Cocaine gives you brain damage<\/a>. Nobody is immune to the damage.<\/p>\n<p>A less robust brain can produce all kinds of other medical problems that might not seem related, but are. Problems that can accelerate aging all over the body, so that the problems compound on themselves, sometimes fairly rapidly. Once you trash the brain, all kinds of things can go wrong, and do.<\/p>\n<p>Being overweight accelerates decrepitude even more rapidly. Too many boomers still think of food as a recreational device.<\/p>\n<p>* It\u2019s also a symptom of depression and anxiety. In this case caused by living in a dying tribe and dying culture.<\/p>\n<p>Trump could replace \u2018making America great again\u2019 with \u2018let me take you out of your misery brothers and sisters\u2019 and there\u2019d be no substantial difference in the underlying meaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments to Steve Sailer: * Razib Khan points out that the rising death rates is exclusive to downscale whites.
