      You really need to consider the possibilities when deciding whether to take off the blindfold. I think it’s reasonable to reflect a bit on how you got there to narrow the possibilities down somewhat.

        Also, while i dont have a dick the concept can translatez and i do not fear the dark. I will not shy away from the abyss. Its kinda my thing. If i enjoy something, i enjoy it. I may lie to the world, but i will not lie to myself.

        Even if it’s, like, a dog, and i have a new problematic fetish.

                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…
