Your compromised position of cynicism is not the best you can do. Thats the story you tell yourself so that you don't have to do the work, self-examine, admit your faults and ultimately humble yourself. Any emotional pain you endure while doing so is very temporary, and therefore, an extremely low price to pay for being free of cynicism the rest of your life and being more open to the truth. You telling yourself that cynicism is the best you can do is what is actually NOT GROUNDED IN REALITY. You, in fact, are capable of more. And you are using your intelligence to convince yourself that you are not.
Your ultimate message here is to give up and stop looking for a solution. This, in itself, is cynical. Your teleprompter debacle, for example, just was not the solution. The only solution here to not having to look away from the camera is not more technology. The solution is just to memorize your point, and practice not accidentally repeating yourself. Its possible to develop yourself in that way.
Don't get me wrong though, I see your point of how looking down isn't even a problem in the first place, because such a problem doesn't actually affect the entire course of your life if not changed, BUT being generally cynical about something completely DOES effect the course of your life HEAVILY, and therefore can literally cost you true happiness and fulfillment in your own life if not addressed.
