Why is the word grass 5 letters instead of 500? It's because it's a short and efficient way to transfer information. If AI is able to improve information transfer that's amazing
This is why you make sure to compress all your jpegs at 15% quality, so that the information transfer is most efficient, eh?
When I read (when everyone reads), I'm learning new words, new expressions, seeing how other people (the writer in this case) thinks, etc. The point was never just the information. This is why everyone becomes a retard when they rely on the "AI"... we've all seen those horror stories and don't know whether to believe them or not, but we sort of suspect that they must be true if embellished. You know, the ones where the office drone doesn't know how to write a simple email, where the college kid turning in A-graded essays can't scribble out caveman grunts on the paper test. I will refrain from deliberately making myself less intelligent if I have any say in the matter. You're living your life wrong.
Work hard when you want and build your domains. Don't stress about work, it's not worth stressing. Know your worth and bring that worth to the table when it's time to talk about raises etc.
I've thought the same thing. But software pays well, is fairly chill, and when you contribute to a big project you naturally build a position of value.
Important to take certain antioxidants and supplements after. Plus whole good food. Focusing heavily on good sleep and rest (so hard). And doing some level of exercise, but even just starting with walking.
I had a post viral effect after Covid. But maybe 2 months. Then I finally took it easy with working out and it went away.
It varies, some more benign, like short term legal trouble from acting out while on it, while another went down a darker path, like re-joining a cult they'd left. Perhaps what I view as darker path is their light path though, from what I've seen they seem happy.
Really ironically all of life up until 30 is kind of following a general script that's handed to you. And that kind of lets you get out of your own head, in a lot of ways. Then when you're ~30 and you have skills, you have some resources, and you understand pitfalls of life... there isn't much more of a set script left except the wife + kids + white picket fence script. And it takes some effort to figure out how/what your autobiographical script will be. (writing this as a 32 year old who hasn't figured it out)
You're on point. Really if you look at all the religions and creeds that have stood the test of time, they all kind of shift focus away from satisfying your ego so much. It's so easy for the mind to rationalize this or that as a failure, given enough time to neurotically brood. Even if you're actually in a very good spot in life.

For the modern day atheist person the formula for happiness could also be
1) Ignore risks
2) Ignore complexity
3) Ignore higher levels in all domains, pretty much disregard classifications better/worse of sorts.
