Inverse correlation of addiction within society as a metric for societal health
An inverse correlation exists between addiction within society and the societal health. The more a society fosters addiction in its people, the less healthy the society is considered. Addiction is defined as compulsive behavior that is destructive to values. Comfort and addiction are closely intertwined, and the ability to resist addiction involves being exposed to hypernormal stimuli without succumbing to desensitization and the need for more intense stimuli.
