This is a good comparison. Just because you were born with genes that make you 6' tall does not mean that the world should somehow automatically lay itself out in front of you. You can try to make it in the NBA, but you're still g

I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying. If living hand-to-mouth gives people satisfaction, purpose and fulfillment, then why are you offering some vague advice about choosing to pursue the wildest aspirations of heart

Did anyone give you a reason why you were being laid off? If they gave you a reason, then how truthful would you consider it to be thinking about it now, given that you're not angry, disappointed or anxious anymore?

>Ms Stembel could be far out on the bell curve in terms of her need for sleep. People who are perfectly healthy on four hours sleep a night for decades exist. Out of curiosity I dug up this article about Ms Stembel and in it she talks ab

I haven't joined any social networks so I don't know how quitting those will work out for you. However, at some point I found that I was reflexively using my smartphone to read irrelevant stuff, watching dumb videos, checking what

I skip rope. I like these muay thai-style jump ropes[0] with thick pvc-tube because I find it annoying when a slim rope gets tangled and I have to stop and start jumping again. Maybe not the best style if you have knee issues though... [0]

There are many ways to depression, and my depression seems to stem from my constant nagging feeling of existential meaninglessness. This has been going on for varying intensity for something like a decade now, but I feel like I'm final

For me psilocybin has helped to break some bad habits because it seems to reset my brain to a more "untainted" state. During the next few days after using it (the "afterglow"), I feel like I have more conscious control o

From my experiences with psychedelics and ketamine I have come to the conclusion that the answer to this question is probably too profound and weird for the current human brain to grasp (if there even is an answer). So I try not to think ab

Can you tell what documentaries you have watched? I would like to see if I have the same kind of reactions to them as I'm also pondering why I'm here and what to do with my life.
