do not assume that your suffering is a proof of your authenticity. do not fall in love with it. renunciation of pleasure can easily turn into pleasure of renunciation itself.
How do we get to flying cars?

Drones have been a thing for a long time. We have self-driving cars now. Why don't we have flying cars?
Big companies exert low levels of stress. But that stress is often low agency, so you often feel miserable in face of problems.
Startups exert high levels of stress. But that stress is often high agency, so you often feel energized in the face of problems.

Geology, like agricultural harvesting is a process of decomposition. Software is the a process of composing abstract thoughts for execution.
The value in earth science is in the models of existing systems. The value in building, abstractions or buildings, is in the uniqueness.
Excerpt: “Manufacturing can’t operate on a filtering-based process that can be implemented via simple mechanisms. Building something involves putting a series of specific parts in specific places in a specific order. This is much harder to mechanize - at minimum it requires a separate movement (or series of movements) for each step in the process. And it almost always requires a large number of humans in place to handle movements that are too complex to mechanize (such as installing screws). Interestingly, this means manufacturing has been slower to mechanize than agriculture. Car manufacturing employment, for instance, nearly doubled in the US between 1940 and 1970, whereas in agriculture it dropped by more than half over the same period“
Most people understand that a forest "doesn't exist" in the sense that humans made up that word (the trees exist in a concrete way that the "forest" does not. Same with a "lake" vs water etc)
It just occurred to me that "a person" is more like a forest than a tree

humanity is still adapting to the fact that ordinary people have broadcasting capability. cultural norms around this are still being negotiated in real time. it’s actually imo more disruptive than promethean fire; you can’t use fire to burn people on the other side of the planet
x.comMy job is to be a musician and make music and do what is authentic to me and reflect my inner world in the most personal way possible. In songwriting, the most personal is the most universal. It's about using my own emotions as a connective tool.
