Hippie philosopher robert anton wilson had this concept, ‘chapel perilous’, where at the limits of knowing you must either accept that you can’t be totally certain about anything, or become an american style conspiracy nut as you retreat into solipsism.

That, but for shittiness instead of truth.

There is a point at which you must either drown yourself in toxic positivity, or accept that everything sucks, at least a little.

I dunno’, that sounds like moron defeatism to me. There are MANY things I am fully, wholly, and confidantly certain in, in this shitty world.

  I have criticisms of it, the absolutism, but the core concept of being cool with uncertainty appeals.
  
  And i am confident most things suck, at least a little, snd i needed a user name…

Well, hopefully you’ll find a wrinkly old man someday to give your tender bits a bit of sucking.

  Well i don’t think I’m into that. I’ve had offers. I have no reason to expect they would be this good.

    Idk, no teeth getting in the way could be a game chamber. That, and many decades of experience.
