I hope fatalism is the right word for it. I guess it could be called defeatism, acceptance, arguments from nature whatever.

Hoo boy I hope this doesn’t come across as unintelligible ranting but it’s a huge pet peeve of mine and I hardly ever see it addressed.

Nothing is more anti-life, anti-humanity and anti progress than accepting ‘the way things are’.
This might be a hot take and might even be considered by most to be an unhealthy opinion, but accepting things ‘you can’t change’ is defeatist to me, because how do you even know you can’t change something? You’re not god, you don’t know for sure. There are so many things we thought were an unchangable fact of life that did, in fact, get changed. Yes I understand that stressing about something that doesn’t have an immediate solution right now is not going to do your mental health any favors, but it doesn’t mean solutions aren’t worth pursuing. This type of nihilist fatalism isn’t just depressing, it’s dangerous. It’s the type of attitude that gets millions killed by desease because illness is just a part of life so why eliminate polio?

Like why even bother inventing shoes if foot pain is inevitable, right? Pathetic. Invent shoes, you dweeb. Nothing sadder than seeing this species resign itself to premature extinction.
