We put in filters as an adaptation to help live in such an environment. If we remove those filters for things that we can't change, won't it make everyone needlessly miserable?

  > If we remove those filters for things that we can't change, won't it make everyone needlessly miserable? Perceived as Normal: People do not see the world for what it is and need to rationalize pleasant things to motivate their continual participation in it and expect others to do the same. One aspect of depression: People see the world for what is is and can no longer rationalize pleasant things to motivate their continual participation in it. High functioning: People see the world for what it is and have no need to rationalize pleasant things to motivate their continue participation in it and leverage the observation that others need and expect a continual illusion. We are not all the same and perhaps more people can be higher functioning.

An example of useless filters: today I spent like 15 minutes searching for my teapot on my kitchen bench. I did not find it. Later I walked in my kitchen and immediately spotted the teapot. It was standing next to the kettle in the middle of the kitchen bench, the same place where it has been standing for the last 2 years...
