Critical Thinking...
-
I'd rather be made sad by the truth than to not have it
Why not be happy that you have the truth
-
You could always slam your head into a wall until your critical thinking skills are gone. Though I suspect they might already be on the way out if you seriously consider this or go through with it.
That's not going to make you happier

Interesting that the usernames are blurred. These look like public posts,I thought it's good practice to give credit?

Being a cat would be nice, but I'd be happy just to have half their self-advocacy skills.
Me: "Um, hey, I am sorry to bother you, but could you scootch your chair a teeny bit? I need to get to the table behind you. Okay, a bit more. Just a smiiiidge more." Holds breath and squeezes by. "Okay, thank you! Sorry again for bothering you."
Meanwhile,
Cat: Pounces onto pillow at 5am "Wake up, bitch. It's time for my breakfast. Now I'm going to meow repeatedly into your face until you comply with my demands."

My cat learned she can wake me up instantly by scratching my face and neck in an unfriendly manner.

Most of them are terrified. It's only their news sources that mislead them about the cause of their misery.

The solution to that is to make it very clear, from the beginning that you do not negotiate with terrorists but you do acknowledge her/him and return kindness with kindness. There's a reason my wife's relationship with our cat involves a lot more being bitten and meowed at until demands are met than mine does.

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.

Nearly everyone in this country lacks critical thinking skills.
It's why we still have a two-party system.

Whoa... where are you hanging out where people seem happy??

Indeed, optimistic nihilism is a movement. Nietsche was not a miserable sod apparently.

Mine used to chomp the tip of my nose.

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.

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?
