it's only acts of willpower on the margin that feel uncomfortable. You're already living an extraordinarily restrained and controlled life from the perspective of someone who struggles with what you find normal. For a period you found brushing your teeth a tremendous nuisance, and then it went to the way of habit and even enjoyment. All behaviours can go the way of teeth-brushing.

I thought that it may have been unique to Australia, but it doesn't seem so based on people I've heard from.

I was born and raised on a farm near a tiny country town. Something that I've noticed as an adult when I visit is that if someone is talking about someone they know who has made some money, regardless of how they've made it (it's usually farming or inheritance), they whisper and lower their head as if at a funeral. The sense is that to have made money a person MUST have done something at least a little bit evil.

there is a kernel of what is to come within yourself. As a child I felt like I had cast god aside all on my own, only to discover that as an adult almost no one believes in god in Australia. At age 25 I thought I became a runner entirely independent of others, only to find 5 years later that everyone is a runner. Before it became revolting and deluded, I felt the woke impulse within myself. If I observe the buds of emotion within me my prediction is that a mass mania is imminent wrt AI, it will peak at roughly 2030. Study the Luddites. Study how to relate to a God.

the phenomena of stated vs revealed preferences is a consequence of the ideas in split-brain theory. The reason that it seems so hard to unify the mind is that the brain is not unified, not homogenous, not monolithic. Split-brain theory really deserves a more prominent spot as a fundamental lens on how to interpret the world.

if Arbitrum and OP-stack L2's are both slightly modified versions of Geth, does this equate to poor client diversity for L2's? If there is a bug in Geth do we lose many of the L2's as well as the layer 1 Geth nodes?
