Having a world view that includes a positive narrative thread through history helps. I think the problem you describe is a deep consequence of modernities over-emphasizing the self. Because we have this false idea that we can be islands in a sea of other individuals we can drift into nialism.
Honestly most people that take a bottle of red pills... at least from my experience actually just start trusting a new tribe of scammers.
I think the solution is community. Knowing and being known. Building relationships. Rejecting the lie that the online world is real. It's fake. It matters but it isn't as important as we think it is.
I do think cynicism is a real problem. But I don't think the solution is to be more niave. We need to be humble about what we don't know. That goes both ways. With trust and mistrust. Been doing a lot of soul searching recently about this topic
