Critical Thinking...

Whoa... where are you hanging out where people seem happy??
you don't have to go far. just drive until you see the trump signs and flags. ironically, cognitive decline also increases in those areas.

I live in a deep red part of the country, surrounded by those people. Not a single one of them I've met seems happy. They're all angry, paranoid and miserable.
Most are over weight, uninsured, underemployed, and have a whole host of health issues on top of it. Voting for Trump didn't change any of that, they're still all miserable.

What a horrible sentiment. I would rather be the most jaded cynical angry motherfucker in the universe than wish to become weaker and more subservient.
It's a joke

Nearly everyone in this country lacks critical thinking skills.
It's why we still have a two-party system.
Ehhhhh, given the voting and representation systems we have, a two party system is a logical result, especially when all voters are rational.

I actively envy the stupid. Every day.
Imagine how life must be when your greatest concern is Disney or some social media drama. These people just float through the day entirely unbothered by the myriad of existential crises that are stalking them like prey.
They're aggressively wrong about so many things. And absolutely iron clad confident in their wrongness.
Everybody is wrong, just by different degrees. E.g. you believe they are stupid but maybe they just choose their battles differently.
How clever are the not so stupid people if they cannot use the internet to create a better place for themselves?

you're looking at them from your perspective of "happy".
they look miserable to you because by all logic, they are.
their brains have been reprogrammed to believe they're happy because they are " winning" because you are "losing".

It isn't stupid to check out. If you can't handle it then you can't handle it. Make things light on yourself. I won't judge for that. When I say stupid I mean sstupid. Dumb as hell. Wrong about obvious things they were taught young. And proud of their ignorance.

Ignorance is bliss as they say.

Ignorance is bliss as they say.
True bliss is being able to live the serenity prayer (at least stripped of the religious aspects): the courage to change the things you can, the serenity to accept the things you can't, and the wisdom to know the difference.
People who feel burdened by knowledge tend to be bad at separating the concept of things that are bad and things that you should actually worry about.
Ignorance of danger might be good for happiness if you're powerless to stop it. But it might be bad for happiness if you suffer harm that you didn't have to, just because of your own ignorance. People who live like that sometimes feel like they're just tossed around by the world, powerless against the forces that affect their lives.

Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity
And you can't take the sky from me
