The mental health of infrastructure

From the slide-deck that follows:

“The nature of the anti-democratic challenge of unhealthy societies has been getting much clearer for me since Christmas 2022, when I've been staying in Stockholm, Sweden.

Mental ill-health, what I call a mental distress which is located in unhealthy environments, not in infirm individuals, and therefore has its solution external to such so-called ‘patients’, is best dealt with on a gradual and discrete basis.

With discrete, I mean of course step-by-step. Gradualist. Progressively and increasingly beneficial. But not necessarily as a result of a direct mental-health policymaking. Nor of its policymakers. Somewhere else.”

What if that somewhere else could be Nordification?
