https://www.theodysseyonline.com/sig...-are-in-a-cult1. A single authoritative person or small group of people create rules to follow.
When not followed, there is punishment. In cults and pyramid schemes — certain rules or ideas are withheld until a conditioning process is undergone so one cannot escape.
2. Your group is isolated or encouraged to stay and keep secrets within the in-group.
Secrets can be used as currency — and used against those who rock the boat. You may be asked/forced to cut off communication with your parents, friends, or family for “the good of the group."
3. Critical thinking and questioning are met with resistance, deferment, and or punishment.
Gas-lighting, or reflecting criticism back onto oneself is common.
4. Cults are totalistic.
This means extreme forms of behavior and thought processes are encouraged, and any abnormality is discouraged. Those in a cult may think in black and white, right and wrong. They usually are under the firm assumption that they are right, and those who don't agree completely are wrong.
5. Hostility, sanction, or aggression when leaving the group is brought up.
They will go to great lengths to keep you—but when you have lost their trust you will be excommunicated, or worse.
6. Formal ceremonies and rituals take place to indoctrinate and reaffirm beliefs communally.
All are expected to attend and believe in the core values of which the cult was founded on.
7. “Love Bombing" or bipolar behavior.
This refers to a manipulation tactic that includes two steps. First, a cult leader or group will paint everything with rose colors. They will draw you in with kindness, acceptance, possibility, and safety. Gain trust. Step two: Test their trust by revealing abusive, neglectful, omissive, or untruthful behavior or ceremonies.
8. Food, work, and social activity are monitored or controlled.
Drugs may be involved, overwork, or the manipulation of food that can leave a person weak or susceptible to command.
9. A sense of “community" is extremely valued above the comfort and desire of the individual.
All for one, and one for all.
10. Important decisions are influenced or made by the people in charge.
Hierarchy is often stressed, with those at a lower caste being at the mercy of those above them.

Your generation is dying off a bit earlier than expected. The beginning of the end of the boomer boom has begun.
Born in 1967, you're a bit off. US life expectancy was going down even before COVID.
Not sure that that has to do with the graph.
You ever have to sing happy birthday to customers at work? That seems like it could be a bit demeaning.
