this says insanely much about society

You know what else says much about society? Depending on what country you are from, the voices people hear while suffering from mental health episodes are different. In the US, it is more mean and antagonistic. In other countries there are claims of hearing old relatives telling them to do chores, and in others it is more of a joking tone and laughing is heard.

I feel the differences that are being experienced is very telling to how the under belly of society functions.

I've recently been reading about the 6 dimensions of societies by Geert Hofstede. I think the voices in you head translate very well to those dimensions. It makes sense that in a more matriarchal society, you'd hear your dead relatives and in a more communal society you'd hear people laughing at you. While in a more patriarchal and individual society like the US the voices are more antagonising.
