This is a bit weird for me. I don't particilarly like or dislike it, it's just what it is. Do other people not have 1h+/day where they are bored of their smartphone/tv and don't do anything at all? I get at least 5-6 hours a week (possibly twice that) alone with my thoughts. I thought it was mostly child raising people that were forced into 110% time for others mode. It's very easy to get carried away if there is some problem and I have an idea, I just keep measuring/calculating until it gets out of hand and meh... I don't get enough out of it to actually do it IRL . Things like climate change, us politics, startup ideas, technical problems I've seen at work, religion, nature of the universe,etc...I even come up with surprisingly funny jokes/humor but only if I am tired and grouchy (is it the mind's auto-response to protect itself? Is this why comedians are usually sad/distreessed IRL?). I am a bit surprised by this post because there are a ton of people much smarter than me on HN and I presumed they must spend a ton of time with their own thoughts, figuring shit out. But I am not seeing comments of that nature. Perhaps grit/discipline and interest play a bigger role? I gotta say though, getting to know myself has not been pleasant, but it is the truth and reality, at least then I can change. One lesson I've learned in recent years is how utterly terrible I and we humans in general ultimately are, and it wasn't surprising when I found out that even babies can be racist, greedy, jealous,etc... and have to be taught what is good and right. A lot of "good" behavior is only a consequence of a full belly, social/peer consensus, shelter and desirable socio-economic conditions. I know damn well I am capable of shameful cowardice or hitlerian atrocities and I will fight like everything I am depends on it to prevent that and stop rationaliztion and self-deception that is needed to do terrible things. If you ask me, everyone should spend time with their own thoughts and get to know themselves. "The wolf you feed" wins after all (if you know of that parable).
