Existence is meaningless except for what meaning you put into it. Don’t sweat if you haven’t figured it out yet.

Life is baseline painful, so it is up to you to fill it with as much pleasure and happiness as necessary to outweigh the baseline pain.

The world sucks and is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better (and then worse again). Don’t get too involved in it. If your lifestyle allows it, consider being more of an observer than a participant.

Consider the possibility of “eternal return.” You are cursed or blessed to live this exact life the exact same way over and over ad infinitum. Whether this is a blessing or a curse is up to you. The actions you take throughout your life should continually push it to be the best life possible, and on you would be content repeating forever.

The eternal return is an absolute nightmare of a concept, I can't imagine even the person with the best life wanting it to be real.

It’s not like you “remember” or know it’s happening.

Just err on the side of caution just in case it’s a thing. I suppose this is like a secular version of Pascal’s Wager.

Where is the heart? The kernel? The meat of it all? The eternal ecstasy that god is entitled to? The indestructible form, a dog hanging its head out of the car window, perched on the edge of morrow, yet the limits of his cheeks are only real as cartoon speed. At the center of the universe is a human skull, ablaze in the wind of time, flames trailing for miles. All that which eternity has not eroded, howling and uncertain winds, yet spirits in his breath woven like earth and direction, forward. Time and flesh made by desire. :v:

have something to look forward to, when that comes have something else to look forward to. don't let other people dictate how you 'should' be living but do evaluate how you're living and if you can do something to make it better. building connections with people is good, too.

Yeah today I rolled out of bed, clocked in, did like two emails, then went out with my wife to Costco for a while (on the clock). Came back, did a couple more emails and then in the afternoon I took a 3 hour nap.

I gotta say, it's pretty great

I systematically work to eliminate anything from my life that mildly annoys me or at least the need to think about it. I’m honestly not quite sure where any of the keys to my house are because keys annoy me.

Becoming more sensitive to experience in general helps. As we get older, we learn to mediate our experience with habitual mental activity in an attempt to insulate us from pain and to maximize reliable strong pleasure. The novelty of pleasant experiences tends to wear off and we just watch for the hit of dopamine. It also tends to dull our capacity to enjoy experiences that aren't initially hedonically interesting or that we are biased against, reasonably or not. Relearning how to relax very deeply is great for working on this, as it gives a reference point for experience without a lot of volitional activity going on.
