This thread & framework reminds me of the Buddhist saying that's something like, “Better not to start. If you start, better to finish.” (as phrased by @meditationstuff)

As in, if your cultural context & meaning-making apparatus is a good fit for your environment, maybe best not to start picking it apart.
If you do start unraveling it and risk getting stuck in nihilism (blackpill), best to finish (whitepill).

Huh, staring at this a bit longer... maybe that Buddhist "best not to start" saying is from a time period in which it was even possible to be in a culture that was a good fit for meaningful humaning in the surrounding environment?

This is an old zen saying, I think!

I’ve read it from Tibetans (but could’ve been borrowed from Zen)
