Would you rather be delusional but Happy? Or sane, logical, and a realist, but Depressed AF?
Most ppl who are happy are delusional- no reason for being so overly optimistic when all the data points otherwise. BUT, they are happy.

You can’t be upset with things you don’t know about. I’d rather be stupid. You were more diplomatic about it, but I would definitely rather be a blithering idiot. The less knowledge, the better.
Yup. Most of the world’s geniuses (as well as artists and writers) have tended to be depressed- Lincoln, Newton, Beethoven, Tolstoy, Dickens, Mozart, etc.
“ignorance is bliss” is not just a saying- it’s the truth.
It’s kind of funny that you asked the question, because if I had a very basic intellect, I wonder if losing my vision would bother me as drastically as it does. Maybe… If there was a magic pill that could erase chunks of my brain, I wonder if i’d take that risk. On the other hand a bottle of arsenic might accomplish my goals just as nicely. For the record, I don’t have access to arsenic.
