A culture that is optimized for producing dysfunction and despair is not a culture with a future. This whole thing has been primed for sudden collapse.

No wonder I'm healthy, happy and content. I don't own a television. I don't listen to or watch or read the news. I cook my own food from real 95% unprocessed ingredients, from the produce, dairy and meat departments. I have no debt. I carefully curate what I do on the internet - encounter few ads, and find it easy to ignore the ones I can't avoid, have never accidentally or intentionally been exposed to porn; my entertainment consists of reading, writing and watching movies, mostly pre -2000's, my friends are few but well-chosen. I get along with my family and they with me. I live in a red state in a moderate sized town, which is home to a university and fairly progressive, but I don't care. Nothing they do affects me. I stay away from them. I don't follow the herd or belong to one. Yeah. I have a nice life. I know what's going on in the world, outside my own self-designed paradise, and I hate what has happened to these United States, but all I can do is be the me I want to be and accept the consequences good or bad.
