Was thinking about this today. I have a lot of anxiety as well as ADD. During the week I take Adderall and other meds but take nothing on the weekends. So I'm literally medicating myself to deal with this work environment that I've willingly plunged myself in to, not because I need the meds to survive or even just function. I'm literally taking medicine so I can be a more productive employee during the work week.

What the actual F?

Been thinking about this a lot lately. Main focus is lowering my standard of living by distilling what I own, buy, consume to just what brings me the most happiness. Hopefully I can exit this awful rat race in the next couple years and take a lower stress job.

I was thinking about this today too. We Americans are so stressed out, we have record mental health issues, suicides and mass shootings like no one else. Then I see pictures of Magento developers in Ukraine suited up in camouflage and helmets holding assault weapons and I just think, how is it possible we are so depressed and empty when we have so much? We are sick. So what’s the cause? Seems to me that we are expected to get fulfillment from stuff and that’s not cutting it any more. Nietzsche was right, God is dead (at least in the US.)

Sad to see these issues but proud that the young generation actually has a vocabulary for these issues and the aspects of our socioeconomic model that cause them.

Society has opted to create "hacks" for everything. You cant even play wordle without someone trying to optimize your choices. So, you all brought this upon your selves. Apres moi, le deluge.
