    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.
