The truth is like ice cream. You eat what you like and ignore the consequences, because after all it’s just ice cream. Some cultures like different ice creams than others, and that doesn’t mean any particular ice cream is better. Sure, you’d like to say the ice cream with cyanide in it is worse ice cream in some sort of objective sense. But you cant, because its ice cream

I was just thinking about this - but men who achieve this sexually. Once you make your fantasies come true, you get new ones. Rich and powerful men who try everything sometimes eventually get into weird/messed up stuff because everything else gets less exciting. Hugh hefner’s ex girlfriends podcast kind of had me thinking about this.

That is fine, when theory means theory in the colloquial sense, but scientific theory is a not a mere theory.

It is not necessarily a "moral crime" to accept scientific theories (not mere theories) like evolution and gravity, it does certainly signal either willful ignorance, plain ignorance or social/political choices to actively reject scientific theory. The only one that probably ought not be judged, at the very least, as a social problem, is actual ignorance.

It’s hard these days, I got really lucky. I hope you find something.

Doing nothing isn’t an excuse to be lazy. Is earning your nothing an oxymoron in the context of this article? Is my capitalist/consumer programming coming through?

Why meditation is so critical

Shrooms seem to have had a similar effect on me

Meal times are also a good time to detach and relax.

What job? What country?

This is my goal. Just need to find an easy job that can pay the bills

I'm in the same boat; I work about 15 hours a week and have all this extra free time. I am bored and every idea I have can feel somewhat pointless. I try to create as much structure for myself but its a moving target finding the bliss point between responsibility/structure and freedom/leisure autonomy.

Sometimes you need to just go sit on your porch or rough equivalent and watch the clouds for a bit. Find a nice grassy area, maybe a park, lie down, and watch.

It's very quieting.

That's a great line by someone who doesn't need credit

At my previous job, I really worked as hard as I can for almost 5 years to the point that I even miss family events because of my heavy workload until I got tired. I resigned and transferred to another agency, where my workload decrease by 75% but with a higher salary. I received an outstanding rating during performance evaluation and an outstanding employee award without even trying. I couldn't be grateful for where I am right now

What do you do!? Sounds ideal.

This is part of the problem I see with following famous "successful" people:

Most of the time you're only looking at their initial obvious successes and not where they're going to be in ten or twenty years. Running at 100% all of the time is going to leave you burned out with unreasonably high expectations that you can no longer reach, and that's even if you manage to succeed to begin with.

Not everyone can be "ultra-successful," particularly in a competitive winner-takes-all system, so you've created a reality that leaves the majority of people unhappy, everyone burned out, and even those who do succeed don't come out looking good in the end. I think this is part of why a lot of traditional cultures / moral value systems emphasize things like modesty and moderation.

This would go well with that "do nothing" Indian guru parody video

Wow that was an annoying read. This person needs to reevaluate their major(s).

Be like a lion. Save your energy for what matters to you.

It's helped immensely and I've only been doing it for about a month. The real turning point was when I internalized that nothing really matters, and that's ok! I guess my only real goal right now is to get my mental health sorted... I'm glad TMS helped you.

I started with Mindbloom and moved on to a psychiatrist that specializes in ketamine.

People will rag on mindbloom.but I had no real issues other than price and their "guides" seeming very canned (what do you expect from a large company?).
