Yeah, I know what you mean; I have that or more accurately had that but unfortunately I also discovered I really like beer and I like myself on beer. I am more creative and indeed social on it. I met all my clients and friends and girlfriends and wife on it. I read and practice formal verification for fun and I write interpreters for fun and I could just do that forever, but it is lonely. I am an atheist and the universe doesn’t give a crap wether we live or die so I try to mix my intellectual challenges with fun. In the end neither will move any needle anyway; most of us will be completely forgotten in 100 or so years, even with kids. So I try to do good and be nice; it just works better with a couple of drinks when it involves others. I do 6 months on and 6 months off (0 alcoholic drinks) every year; I am far more productive in the off months but less creative and far less social.
