I really like this frame: "it is impossible to love something psychologically oppressing you" Once you fully welcome it, the thing loses power over you, and you can start loving it.

my body tenses up when I read tweets like that. it's trying to fit a linear solution to a non-linear system, it just doesn't work well. it's been tried before. people are banging on that door and no-one is answering. it's insanity.

got the book, tried it a lot, it feels really awkward and kinda disingenuous to do. almost like admitting there is something wrong with how I communicate and that this book will fix that. where I've landed is feeling okay saying the scary thing that I want to say and speaking truth with an open heart.

I wrote this a couple years ago under the pseudonym Ben Wilson, I was intending to produce a series of instructional blog posts written by Ben for the fictional company Influx, which sold a device that allowed you to control your dopamine triggers on your phone The idea was that it would be an exploration of reward hacking and goal drift, as well as a commentary on (mostly my own, but also society's) fucked up priorities in life, and then eventually have Ben, their guinea pig, descend into madness with him one day accidentally setting his wordcount dopamine trigger too high and producing a Ulysses like ending of Autocomplete nonsense Never wrote the second installment because I didn't really have an audience to share with at the time so I lost interest https://medium.com/@InfluxUser/3-ways-to-properly-tune-your-drc-8892d135150b#.5cla3irry

Do you do this consciously?

one problem with social media is that you’ll rarely spend 5 minutes on a post. so most of your time could be spent reacting vs actually thinking about what you consume. https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3124-give-it-five-minutes

similar to people who claim enlightenment, you can’t really verify what they say to you. it could be madness or something else. who knows!
