The zen of doing your chores by hand

• theshrike79 6mo ago
  There's a specific set of people who get a Zen feeling from doing things the long way. I'm not one of those, my brain doesn't give me any more dopamine whether I spent a long time doing a thing or took a shortcut. I don't even get dopamine from completing the task, I just get a list of more things that need to be done.

  Thinking about the world and oneself isn't a repetitive chore in the way washing your clothes is. "I doubt, therefore I think, I think, therefore I am" -- if I no longer think, what's left? Biomass? Why us then.. why not goo, or just more parking space?

    Energy and awareness. Were more empty than whole and the cells that do make up an invididual are not 100% human. And all of it the periodic table of elements
