Ownership of Problems

I have a lot of friends who are sad. Some are on medicine, some are not. Some probably don't need the meds, but it's an easy way out. Others maybe should be on meds, but are too proud or stuck to see a doctor. 

I can only remind everyone whose life sucks, that it is time to to get up and fix it. No one else will do it for you. Your life, your relationships, your businesses, your house ... get up, and fix it. And then if you want my help, let me know. But first you get up.

I complain about things every day, otherwise I would run out of things to fix.

Haha

I am going to fix a pipe, in my flat today. It's an irritating bastard that needs to be unexisted.

The Rich : I eat natural food because I can afford its superior nutrition.

The Middle : We can make a margin on selling the dream of superior nutrition.

The Hipster : I'm a foodie, it gives me the feels.

Empathy and Condescension

I think it is funny, how dishonest people are. Some are dishonest, some are ignorant. Whether polity requires one to tell white lies or not is a related concern.

For example, if you recognise how dumb someone is, complete empathy with them requires that you become them, a dumb person, limited by their limits. Of course, you can express sympathy for them without bringing yourself to their limits, but then that is just condescension.

The general challenging facing oneself in society, is simply to decide how much one wants to be ignorant, or dishonest, or disliked.

Most of us are ignorant. Some of us choose it - a privileged few. Everyone else is either ignorable, ignoble, or a mixture of the two.

Apparently I am an Investor

Epiphany - since I have been completely happy with myself since 2004, and thus lack an in-built need to prove anyone wrong about anything ... I basically lack the emotional volatility which investors look for in their investees. So, I should systematically deprioritise the positioning of "investee", in my personal branding. It certainly doesn't preclude prioritising the positioning of "investor", so I guess from today onwards, I am branded as being more suitable to be an investor than an investee.

Coffee, Tea, and Alcoholic Beverages : optimised scheduling

Tea, about six grams dry, makes a pot or so of hot or iced stuff. Much more suitable for daydreaming, than coffee, as it induces less tunneling from caffeine.

Alcohol, is better earlier in the day, rather than before bed, as it provides more time for food and exercise to heal nerves, before sleep. This appears to imply that legal chem sex should also be scheduled earlier rather than later.

Coffee, as the main tunneling drug, is best reserved for verbal, musculoskeletal, and other spatially analytical endeavours, which do not require rule bending. That is why most wage labour requires it.

Later :

The effects of overhydration are coherent with parasympathetic activities, and the effects of dehydration are coherent with the sympathetic ... to some degree.

"More hydration while daydreaming, less hydration while tunneling, perhaps."
