I do. I like narratives that provoke me to be constructive and optimistic about the future. It makes me more productive and more extroverted. Cynical and depressing has its place but too much of it and idolizing it as "real" only makes the bleak dystopia become that much closer to reality imo.
I am not an intellectual, and I am not a literary critic. I am just an average dude who needs a reason to get up in the morning like everyone else. Maybe I understand why Plato was so controlling over the media that his philosopher-kings consumed during their education.
