Real Cool v Fake Cool

Real cool lacks striving and is comfortable.
Fake cool adopts the affectation of not caring while caring immensely, which requires repressing anxiety and authenticity for social acceptance. Artifice may avoid isolation by isolating the ‘self,’ but the double-bind invariably leads to a schizophrenic crash, which is not cool.
