Philosophy
I believe that humans derive meanings in achieving goals.
So I optimise for two things:
-
Defining good goals
-
Achieving defined goals
To achieve goals, I optimise for the ability to endure and maybe even enjoy:
-
stress
-
loneliness
-
determinism
-
existansial dread
-
brain and body's aging
-
brain's terrible memory
-
problems that life throw at you
-
brain's anachronistic reward system
We are close to the dawn of the most exciting time in the history of the Earth.
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We’re going to live on!
We’re going to survive!" *
Addiction is the acceptance of pain while awaiting instant pleasure;
Motivation is the acceptance of pain while awaiting short term pleasure;
Decipline is the acceptance of pain while awaiting long term pleasure.
