I also think that cynicism is the path of least resistance.
It’s dangerous to be optimistic. When you’re excited about stuff and it doesn’t work out culturally you look like a moron, when you’re a cynic if you’re wrong nobody cares because we’re all lucky that things didn’t turn out shittily. When things do turn out poorly you look like a genius because “you predicted the calamity.”
The “easy money” comes from being a pessimist because you don’t have to commit to anything.
