It's me. I'm the man who wishes he was dumb enough to be happy all the time.

Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."
Yup.
Hey welcome to the fediverse!
Thanks! I almost know what that means!
I don’t know what it means yet too but you are welcome :D

Dumb people are not happy most of the time. They're perpetually angry and afraid because rich people manipulate them to be that way
I don't remember being interviewed.
That's because you're a dumbass. Happy now?
You know what? Yes, yes I am!
Is the intelligent thing not to be to recognise when things are out of your control and put them out of your mind
Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it'd be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there's nothing directly they can change.
People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it'll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it's undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.
Putting things out of your mind doesn't mean you can't take action though
If the only reasonable thing I can do to make a change to a situation is to cast a vote there's no point worrying about it until I actually have the opportunity to do that
I see what you're saying, when you said put it out of your mind it more sounded like forget about it, which isn't helpful when people see a problem, but you have to know what you can reasonably impact. There is usually more that can be done but time and money are limited. Many people don't have the time to campaign for ideas which in itself is an issue with the way things are run in my opinion.
I do find it crazy that despite all the technological advancement to save everyone time we just ended up spending all that free time working
Some days it feels like it would be easier to take a ball peen hammer to my prefrontal cortex than deal with the rest of my species.
Too smart to be happy too dumb to be successful.
Dunno about that, plenty of dumb successful people out there, this world ain't a fair one.
Idk, republicans don't really seem to be a happy bunch.
I feel seen!
It's me. I'm the man.
Have you tried idolizing osaka from azumanga daioh?
We are all you on this not so blessed day.
Have you tried watching Rick and Morty?
I'm too dumb to be happy!
Smart enough to realize everything is shit is a real debilitating condition and honestly, one doesn't haven't to be very smart to realize that.
I've seen this on an episode of House MD
He just like me fr
This hit me at my core.
I feel this one, but Vin Diesel is actually a decent actor? Find Me Guilty is a banger, Boiler Room is solid, he was good in Saving Private Ryan and he was The Iron Giant ffs
I would say that he’s a better actor than The Rock, but he’s not winning any acting awards anytime soon.
Like Adam Sandler, Vin Diesel can act but chooses a lot of projects that do the opposite of showcasing that skill.
