How do you cope with the fact that everything is phony (inb4 dismissed for being like Holden)?

Literary theory is bs made up so that people can leech off of academia and get easy degrees.

Social scientists are idiots and weaponised by dishonest journalists as the new secular prophets telling people what to think / why they're shit.

Morality is never practised. A politician who kills innocent people is more popular than one who says politically incorrect things.

So many current novels are merely narcissistic barely disguised memoirs or written by people with zero life experience.

Science and maths are practised mostly within hideously subsidised and bloated academic institutions.

Sex and portrayals of success are shoved in your face wherever you go through songs and pictures. But you're not allowed to say you want any of it.

90+ % of jobs could be done by everyone and only recruit based on looks and personality. Your genetically determined appearance factors are the largest influence of how people treat you, yet this is never acknowledged.

Literature is not an oasis, not one bit.

>firts 2
Agreed.

>moralty
True, but politics was alwys a shitfest. Compared to historic rulers modern politicians actually kill very few people, if any.

>novels
The wast majority of art ever produced is crap and is forgotten in a decade.

>science and math
U wot? They are some of the only marketable fields that can get private
Investments.

I wonder if all academics in humanities know that they are leeches and phonies or that they tell themselves something else to sleep at night, while getting a salary for doing nothing productive and pretending to teach. But then again morality is a spook right?

>literary theory is bs
You're somewhat true with--some of them--leeching off academia, but there's been a lot who've done some interesting commentary, research, and analysis on writings.
>social scientist are idiots
Somewhat true, but they are valuable for collecting data and construing hypotheses and concepts. It's how serious and how they're deeply trusted by the public which is flawed.
>morality is never practiced
except by private people and modest politicians who don't typically get media coverage or documented as much for their virtue compared to eccentric politicians and tyrants.
>novels
I agree
>science and math
what's wrong with this? A lot of the eminent modern science and math can't be demonstrated or tested on that greatly outside of a university or scholarly setting.
>sex and portrayals
You are allowed, brah. It's just frown upon if you talk about it immodestly in public.
>90% of jobs can done by everyone
you severely underestimate how smart, competent, and not-lazy the common person is if you ever ask most people in any work-place field (sans highly selected and vented professional settings) who train new people how the average candidate is.
Most jobs aren't selected on appearance. Don't buy into the NEET myth that bosses only hire qt secretaries who are willing to suck their dick and that's why they can't get a job. Most employers are content with finding who can do the jobs they're offering the cheapest while filling the minimum qualifications and expectations. Those big alpha-male bosses aforementioned just fuck whores at the bar and save money instead most of the time (unless you're talking about some guy at a big-corporate firm, which you're misguided to think most people work at such and every new job is secretaries for them).
>literature is not an oasis
It isn't. But selecting and interpreted didactic-parts of good literature can make you into a better person. It shouldn't be read to escape from the world.
