You are not wrong. There seems to be a similar level of responses too.

real men have stinky pee

I've felt this way quite often in my life, including recently, and I usually get through it by focusing on the small moments that I can enjoy. But reading your words and thinking about that feeling again this time made me think "I should do a random act of kindness for someone". It sounds cheesy and kinda pointless, but helping someone else or doing a random nice thing for someone else can sometimes make the world seem like a better place. And when the world seems like a better place, it has the potential to become that. I guess it's the old "be the change you want to see in the world" thing.

This is all stuff people have told me over the years when I've sought help for depression, and I usually brushed it off, to be honest. But I empathize with your words, and I wouldn't want anyone else to feel the hopelessness about the world that I've felt, so I thought "maybe a niceness would prevent that feeling for someone else".

Idk, I'm rambling now, but I hope this makes sense. And I hope you (and I) find a way to feel better about the potential of our world, as opposed to its apparent current state.

oof I certainly hope so

I think you're probably right, but a world where robots do art and humans do the tedious manual labor sounds eerily similar to the world we live in. At least, it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Basil Hayden, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek, Angel's Envy, Old Grandad, Bulleit are all great choices.

Basil Hayden or Woodford would definitely be my first choice though.

ah, the "Shane Gillis" approach

Not sure if this counts as brutalist, but the post made me think of this example from Portland

I think you overcorrected there a bit

Are you one of those people who needs an authority figure to tell you what you are experiencing?

I love him

Why must I chase the cat?

Examples?

This sounds like a description of empathy, which, as far as I know, cannot be taught, unfortunately.
