“The Buddhist does not see the world as divided between warring good and evil influences, but rather views the wandering mind non-judgementally, as needing only constant gentle correction.” This is something I never understood about the New

This was such a trip, appreciate all the references. But that is no philosophy for life. I’m actually surprised it is written that way in the Bible.

It’s kind of amazing to think people were writing 2,000 years ago and that their work was preserved and we actually have access to to their ideas. Especially when you consider that 21st century writing is pretty much text messages and AI..

If you have enough savings to take year off, quit your job (or minimize/part time it) and apply yourself to what you really (think) you want. You may be surprised at the results, but at least you’ll know you pursued your dreams

Thank you. Is it a technical term used in marketing? Plenty of people also criticize behavioral economics for being manipulative, especially if they don’t agree with the behavior to be “corrected”

It would be silly to assume that the criteria that yields a law (or a system) be itself subject to that law or system. Logically, that criteria must encompass the system and cannot at all be subject to it

It’s just like decision fatigue: your capacity for it diminishes the more you use it (within a given time range). Instead, carefully curate your identity . This is described well in Atomic Habits. Train yourself to think “I am just not the
