>low intelligence
Happy because unaware of world situation
>mid intelligence
Unhappy because aware of world situation
>high intelligence
Happy because they apply stoic philosophies to their life and making the lives of their immediate surroundings better instead
Yeah, things look bleak. However you need to realize that there ARE things you can do. Maybe not on the world stage, but in your own community. Sign up for a soup kitchen, clean up a street that is full of garbage, etc. Anything is better than being terminally online and doomscrolling. You will be happier for doing so, I guarantee you.
