When the world fails to meet your expectations then the problem isn’t with the world.
This situation is an issue of emotional regulation (at the very least). I can recommend DBT as efficacious there.
Yes, that’s exactly how I was looking at it, though I guess I didn’t made a very good job at explaining that in my question.
I mean, I still think the current lack of rationality in the world is a big problem, but it’s not like I expect people to do better any time soon, I was just looking for ways to avoid feeling like I feel when I’m reminded of that.

I’ll look into DBT and try your advice, thanks.
