An artist's secret of happiness: Accept the fact that the world is insane, and that people responsible for its fate have long lost their marbles. Because what sane adult would count on uploading their mind to a chip and moving to another planet, as a solution? Seriously.
Once you see the people in positions of great power for what they are, and once you accept that you are on your own in many ways, priorities become much closer to nature, and the motivation to freak out over petty things subsides significantly. And that is happiness.
