Cynics happen when skeptics are right for decades, but no one will listen to them.
That’s line’s got some oomph to it
Classical cynics loved to ridicule society and exalt nature. Modern cynics ridicule society and exalt themselves.
A cynic that owns a mortgage and a 401k is a bigger imposter than the tourist wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the Mall of America.
A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.
We need more sardonicism.
I certainly won’t disagree with that.
Do you listen to The Grey Area?
Not to far. Thanks for letting me know about it.
Listen to the episode from last week “why cynicism is bad for you” … you’re on to something with your post here that is covered a lot in the episode.
