Monkey'n around [TW: self harm]
From the archives. Jesus what a grim fucking comic, great contrast between the subject and the cutesy style, which I guess is what made me go "heh, holy shit"
Interesting read
TLDR: "ignorance is bliss"
I am heavily fucked up inside therefore i must be an intelligent
You know what? Fuck it.
Uncauses your correlation
Once when I told my mom I failed a test in middle school, she said it was okay I wasn't super smart because otherwise I'd probably end up killing myself.
She doesn't believe me when I tell her she said that but it kinda scarred me
very depressed and still get the best grades in my class at "profession school", can confirm.
A little dark for a chuesday, innit?
I have absolutely no idea what a "chutes day" is 😅 but I'm a dirty foreigner with a native language that's not even in the same family as English, please have mercy
It was an autocorrect fail.
"chuesday" and "innit" are just poking fun at a particular English accent.
a lot of brits pronounce the "tu" at the beginning of words like "chu"
So to any young kids who get into this "I am intelligent therefore depressed."
I've been there and what I've found is that if you are like how I was. I falsely correlated analysis of the universe and the discovery of it's harshness with how I was feeling and probably erroneously ignored my bias (because I was depressed) to focus on negative realizations.
It was my caustic family environment, my lack of individual freedom, poor sleep, poor diet that was making me miserable.
If you're feeling this way you need to look into Mindfulness and why existence even in its brutally bleak appearance can be an enjoyable quiet morning listening to crickets as you wake up, or being aware of noisy air vent that sounds interesting, or even the curiosities of your own wandering mind.
Our experience of existence is relative to our framing. Emotional intelligence is learning to side step the current and enjoy observing the river.
otoh depressive realism is a thing.
For example about a trillion probable sentients are killed every year mostly for pleasure and if you can contextualise numbers at all that rends your heart.

Futurama taught me you should only give the monkey moderate intelligent serum if you want it to be happy

Guenter, NO!
