Madness? This…is…summer!

That’s just lack of commitment

For escaping the world: car. Solitude and a background task while my mind ticks away.

Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!

It’s got what shareholders crave

Why does nobody think of the boulder?

But it is stranger

I believe that whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger…

Only if you’re feeling hot

Short crematorium stocks, do it now!!!

Hey, taking care of yourself and resting is also important and productive!

That’s what I tell myself anyway.

The prime guideline

Reminds me a bit of the setting for the Red Alert series of games. Although there they actually go back in time and kill Hitler so different from the scenario in this post but the possible alternate timelines are fun to think about.

Obligatory Jim Carrey quote:

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realise how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.

Mining on a planet/moon in Star Citizen. Very chill, you get some beautiful views and monkey brain can see balance go up.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and chatter in the place of exercise.

I’d recommend reading Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do by Michael Sandell.

Also I haven’t read it myself yet but it sounds like The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris would probably be of interest to you as well.

Everything goes in the calendar. Especially regular but infrequent things like birthdays. I set reminders a few days to a week before so I have time to adjust plans / buy presents or whatever.

If I’m having trouble motivating myself to do something, I commit to doing a bare minimum amount. For example going to the gym if I’m feeling unmotivated I might commit to just doing one exercise. Dishes maybe I’ll just wash one plate / pan. Once I’ve used that to get over the initial hurdle I’ll usually be able to ride the wave and complete everything.
