I spend too much time trying to resolve the cognitive dissonance between the facts that:

1. living in a society means accepting and finding peace with the idea that I cannot selfishly demand my own personal policy preferences and total autonomy, that I need to find ways to accede to collective consensus that I do not necessarily find agreeable

2. everybody making decisions at any scale in 2025 *is* a complete fucking evil moron, they're ruining the world, and I *should* be put in charge
