I really like this. It’s so hard to recognize when energy / restlessness is something I need to channel “productively”, or when I just need to knock myself out.

Love it but note that Dan Ariely is a fraud: https://datacolada.org/98 https://datacolada.org/98

  For those who might be confused, Dan doesn't appear to be the author of the OP, Dan is Quoted by the author
- thunderbong 3y ago
  I don't get the point of this comment. So, there's a quote in the article by 'Dan Ariely'. The quote is 'Humans are predictably irrational' So what if Dan Ariely is a fraud, a crazy or a madman. If something someone says seems valuable to you, take it. Why does their history matter?

  The post you link uncovers apparent frauds in research from 2012 and 2020. Ariely's reply says that he received the data in good faith, and that it was provided by private insurance companies. He also thanks the post authors for their work. This doesn't paint him as a fraud, but as a victim of fraud.

    There's been enough follow-up on this case to come to the conclusion that he fabricated the data. The Hartford insurance company's statement contradicts his claim. The PNAS study was retracted after the Data Colada article and there are anomalies in his other work.

Gotta be honest, it sounds like this guy has bipolar disorder
- TaylorAlexander 3y ago
  Idk, this resonates with me and in ten years with a great therapist, the idea that I have bipolar has never come up. A friend of mine acts this way too. She is an artist, and has late night art sessions from time to time, which ultimately wipe her out. I appreciate the discussion in this article about it.

  That was exactly my thought. A relatively mild case, but still.

  Not sure about diagnosing someone over the Internet, but yeah, can’t relate. The rare days I wake up feeling half as alert and driven as described, it’s great, I get a ton of important shit done, feel wonderful and alive the whole time, go “oh, this is why some people are wildly more accomplished than me—they must feel like this quite a bit more often than I do, I’d be fucking emperor of Earth if I felt this way even one day a week”. Then I’m back to normal for the next six months or so :-)

  This reminds me of some of the stuff I would write in my early 20’s, well after midnight. The difference being that I read it the next morning and hit delete.

    Not sure if you're talking about the above comment or my post, but IF it's the latter I take it as a compliment, so thank you. If you meant the former, ignore the rest of this comment. The reason I take it as a compliment is that I created this secondary blog to work on my perfectionism (I write mostly on sonnet.io), so the content here will be rough and generate this sort of feedback. People still seem to find it useful, so I'm ok with mistakes. > hit delete. I hope you kept a copy somewhere! Whether you feel embarrassed about it or not--it's a part of you and there's something to learn from. Speaking as someone much older than early 20s here.

This is a great take. I regularly get this feeling, but have always described it as "Friday Brain". The mentions of bipolar, I can't speak for the poster but I am undiagnosed due.to no classic symptoms.
pcblues 3y ago
Thanks. This was fun piece of writing to read with a nice premise. And something to hopefully remember when a busy week leaves me wired rather than tired.

Haha my wife and I already call this "Golden retriever mode" when I get the zoomies after too much work or when I first wake up mind racing and full of wrestling energy. If it's later in the day I like to put a heavy weight in a pack and walk around the neighborhood. In the morning, I will often just go for a regular walk or start working early.

I don't think this has ever happened to me. More work = more tired.
