I think life is only bad if you are a good, intelligent, and modest person. If you are an evil, stupid, and charismatic person, you will have a fulfilling life in modern western societies. You will get a high paying job, have numerous relationships with women, and be respected by your peers.

The thing is, how in God’s name does a normal person cope with this?

I think nowadays most men are evil, stupid, or charismatic so life is just fine for them. If your life is miserable, then you are the one who isn't normal.

I think the average moron just lives in a routine and never makes significant changes in their life. They do what they are told (like taking the vaccine) and assume that they will get by somehow.

If the rollercoaster rides cable news and jerry springer afford aren't enough to tucker them out, they're strung out on pills. The studies of pharmaceuticals in sewage, and the behavior of drivers, prove that.

In other words: escapism. Not through Huxleyan complacency, but something very similar.

Those are not methods for coping with stress or burden, they're methods for mentally transferring them to enemies or experts. Very bad habit, in my opinion. At least HST was taking the burden upon himself.

But how do they get anything done? Perhaps someone helps them or they don't?

Industriousness of retards and massive debt.

Lots of things get done, poorly, eventually. Ask any mechanic or defense attorney.

The more complicated and expensive everything is, the better the retards do, because they don't care. They consume their escape, and they live off graft or die without noticing each other. Meanwhile I agonize over everything that can and did go wrong, so I'm miserable.

I hate to recommend drugs, alcohol, and violence but they always worked for Hunter S. Thompson.

Well, alcohol and sporadic violence has got me here thus far. I'll pass on the drugs. One or two bad habits are enough.

Plant medicine is good for you but please do it your way. Iowa?
