The cynicism is not based on nothing. I don’t crave being toxic. I crave intellectual challenge and general positivity.
The cynicism is born of experiencing reality. Particularly one where I’m a neurological minority among incurious people, people who engage in motivated reasoning, and people so motivated by avarice that they simply lie.
The following quote applies to my offline experience in an allistic dominated world:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended with my real face” ― Franz Kafka
I now simply play the game now, and fairly well. I still hate it though.
Online, I don’t need to worry about playing allistic games or worry about catastrophic social consequences of being my blunt and honest self. I can dissect things, and try my best to learn how far the ugliness goes.
Thanks for the honest insight. I will not be contrarian to what you said. But I do want to point out that honesty without emotional responsibility is cruelty. It might be a costume party, but it’s not always born out of malice, often it is self preservation. After all dissecting living beings usually kills them.
