I'm talking about stuff like "there's NOT gonna be an election in 2028" and such, and I also support optimism

Von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: that you don’t have to be responsible for the world that you’re in. So I have developed a very powerful sense of social irresponsibility as a result of von Neumann’s advice. It’s made me a very happy man ever since. - Richard Feynman (The creep)

Mostly that. I accept the world is shit. I try make my little corner of it better. I try not to support what's making it worse. I accept I'm not an acetic, worse I'm a hedonist, so I will be making it worse. I accept these things.

I do try make it better, I vote left, I donate, I abstain through boycott to a tolerable level of discomfort.

I could be doing better, I eat meat, I still get things from Amazon, I drive cars/motorcycles as a hobby.
