Everything is used to advance grim dark, no matter how silly or fallacious.
It's interesting you think of your world view as the happy one. Feeling personally invested in every bad thing that happens to every other human on the planet? That shit would get old, real quick. It's no surprise so many of you are depressed.
Maco and I differ on that front. I don't view the world as a cold place. It's just the world. If you're lucky, it's pretty great. If you're not, it's probably going to suck. Personally, I like it. And I've found the more I partake in obnoxious literary masturbation, the more my self-awareness increases, the more I can behave in a way that makes life enjoyable. Perhaps, I got lucky with the sociopath thing, because my biology is on my side when it comes to seeking happiness.
I mentioned Biology-Conditioning-Reason before, and asked Thump about dissenting positions, because I think it's sort of a majority rules. My Biology and Reason team up to defeat my Conditioning. But for a lot of people, I think their Biology sides with their Conditioning which is too strong a force to not shape their reasoning.
