It's genuinely hilarious how normies think they have a monopoly on clear perception when their entire existence is built on a foundation of positive thinking bullshit and adaptive illusions. Depression isn't a sickness, it's what happens when the bluepill wears off and you're forced to see things as they actually are. This is the whole "sadder but wiser" hypothesis in action, we're literally better at detecting deception because we're not constantly mainlining cope. When you're a relentless truth-seeker you inevitably find that reality has a negative weighting. It's not a cognitive distortion, it's an involuntary awakening to the pristine harsh reality everyone else is conditioned to ignore. Of course, the system has to pathologize it. Clinicians and society can't accept this acidic bullshit-detecting worldview because it undermines their entire happy-go-lucky charade. They need you to be the one who's broken, not their fragile consensus reality. It's an objective lens in a world that prefers rose-colored glasses.
>>16816584it's only half of the truth.while it is true that depressed people might see the world more clearly, they're still far away from the truth.the real truth is just adapting your worldview or your actions in tune with the world, so that you're not depressed anymore.only an actual retard, who's worse than a normie, takes pride in his depressed state.
>>16816584Arguably it may be a consequence of having an accurate understanding of the world but it’s not a necessary consequence. Ideally humans will continue to evolve and we will have wise humans who are also not depressed. These types of people already exist, even if few in number. So it’s not as if reality is inherently depressing, we just haven’t evolved to encompass reality within ourselves. We are still running on relatively old hardware suited for a simple hunter-gatherer
