Face it!

The kittens and wild geese sound nice.

Bee stings don't bother me anymore, though.

No one is saying that there isn't some negativity in the world, but I don't think you should always see it through a cloudy lens. The world isn't a big negative place. There are a lot of good things in this world and you should remind yourself of that by looking at the positives.

I agree 100%.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

There now, is that better?

Listen here, if you want to be taken seriously, want us to think you're as learned as you present, then you need to act more mature. This is the definition of a bad faith discussion and I do not appreciate this dismissal of criticism just because I disagree with your puritanical misanthropic spiel about moral panic and fatalism. A forum is a place for discussion and sharing, it is not for you to whine and cry the moment someone responds in a way you don't like. I put in the effort to make a detailed response with my thoughts and supporting evidence, but I got this bull back, so why should anyone else listen to you? How is it a person supposedly with such a great scholarly background is entirely incapable of scholarly discussion? All I see in this thread is childish whining and conceited self-pity.

Does the critical view of humanity’s nature and efforts so uniformly cast in the op also extend to whatever aspect of humanity created and maintains the worldview described in the op?
