Of all money making ventures, from every corporation, to every politician and campaign, even down to things on Kickstarter and Tik Tok.

But if you're going to be so skeptical you'll need to understand the rules of evidence, and have a reasonable criteria for changing your mind. Otherwise you'll become a paranoid anti-vaxxer who believes Lizard People are in control.

Also skepticism isn't necessarily a happy life, so you might want to keep that in mind!

Awareness is more important than "happiness".

They're not in opposition. I'm just saying you also might want to be aware of what makes you happy.

I aim for contentment through awareness, because happiness is a state I can't maintain. This leads to good moments of happiness that outweighs the unhappiness though.
