When I was a kid I remember being quite depressed when I realized that I didn’t not have enough time in a single life time to become friends with every single living human in the world, visit every single town, every city in the world, paint & write thousands of poems in one life time, fall in love a million times and … start many companies, learn every language living and dead, eat every kind of meal ever created, master all the ways, and gain all of the knowledge humanity has cultivated over centuries
I get sad about this at time (still?) Yet, most of the time I feel more optimistic than I did before. There is a gut feeling that having a constraint makes it a choice I have to make. The choice puts more weight to my decisions in a liberating way. I feel more optimistic because there is gravity to my design
Almost like a gravitational slingshot around the moon - helps you go farther, faster when you can use that constraint to your advantage in a way that couldn’t be done if the moon wasn’t there 27 replies

It do be like the Deadliest Catch - Alaskan King Crab fishermen going out into one of the most dangerous oceans you can fish in - The Bearing Sea and just fishing, over and over and over and
The problems, are the same every day. Dangerous ocean, and fighting the elements, not enough time. Every day is a struggle, not enough fish, terrible people, crew has trouble. Every episode is approximately the same. Problems with the the skipper, quota. Need less, need more fish. Pots come up empty.
There is a Sisyphus-like struggle to fishing, and the problems that often get built up as being issues in the crews mind, often just kinda dissolve. Some do not; but often they end up nonexistent. The episodes and seasons blends into each other. You can start in one season and generally the characters are the same. Surviving.
Pretty much covers all the major narrative conflict types: man vs nature, man vs man, man vs self, man vs society. Low key one of the best depictions of life in a reality TV format. Big fan. 3 replies
