- relationships stale
- you can have a lot of stuff going on, but it always requires upkeep, doesn’t matter. you can have relationships that you can pick up later for sure, but while you’re not actively nurturing them they’ll be stale, stopped in time. maybe they’ll also rot, I mean, a lot of them will, I guess.
- intrinsic value
- we are all these things
things things things
software engineer, previous CTO, keynoter, cleaning person, friend, mother, abuser, driver
and we’re nothing, we were these things, we’re new things all the time
we have to have compassion for the person we’ll be in the future, because we share lots of memories, and experiences and probably beliefs, it’s easy to empathize with the future you which is a different you
The ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus' paradox, is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The paradox is most notably recorded by Plutarch in Life of Theseus from the late first century.
- reductionism is also valuable
- we have to beware to not get lost in the entropy of thoughts
and the fractal complexity of the world
we have to organize
entropy to be able to understand things
and make progress
to look at things as parts instead of as a whole
- money
- nowadays i have to spend so much more money on everything to feel well about it, well maybe not everything i don’t have to have the most expensive stuff or the best stuff. but if i’m buying something it has to be sourced out of the most ethical place in the most ethical way ever, and i’m pretty sure i’m falling into this green washing stuff, but like, ordering food is the same i have to give a good tip because i feel like the world is so unfair and some people have so little and i have so much and well not even doing this fulfills me in a way that’s enough. it’s not about tipping right, or buying expensive food or clothes. this is not enough. i wonder if anything is enough that’s the big EA trap I guess…
- tribalism
- is it even worth it to live such a free life as I do? and as flo does
we have no tribes
non adapting to these things, allows us to be very self expressing
is it stupid to not fit in to a tribe?
I guess so maybe, or well is probably just a different axis
I should make like I should be more flexible and just join something and pretend i agree with every tribe rule when I’m there, but I don’t really have to, but then will I ever truly feel part of tribe, idk, but I guess it’s good enough, it’s what I do with buddhism and computer science right, so, also with my woke friends. I do that already, maybe it’s not enough to not completely comply to feel held. or maybe I just need to half comply to more tribes
- how to make friends
- curiosity is one thing that prompts closeness in relationships
- meditation, yoga and healthy practices
- i think my brain is just sick and these things are like medicine
to not practice them is to stop taking medicines for a disease that will eventually kill you. very dangerous, and I shouldn’t
- conscientious use of time
- filling my day with activities is just an escape mechanism most of the times
- be aware of my choices and every single activity i’m doing is living conscientiously
