@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXGF1JuJWTo&t=1020">17:00</a><br>I came to this realization this morning. I watch a lot of "improvement" videos, but my life still remains the same..... <br>I'm done spending so much time watching these things. I got enough knowledge to know what needs to be changed.

Hell yeah!!! We got another Diogenes! I can't wait to listen to this in Spotify when it comes out there while I take a long walk. I have a question though, think you can do more about Socratic skepticism? 🤔

The distinction between <b>physis</b> and <b>nomos</b> hits hard today. We spend so much energy treating social expectations like laws of nature. Realizing our anxieties are mostly performance rather than actual survival changes how we prioritize peace.

Good stuff. Simplifying life is the way to go. The less you have the more you have. The irony of it all. Keep up the good work
