So you go to the dentist and they spend 6 hours repairing a single tooth and giving you a prosthetic. You do to a brain doctor and they give you 5 minutes and a pat on the back or some weak speed if you’re lucky. Seems wrong.

Our fetishisation of happiness is almost as harmful as our obsession with productivity.
What is happiness?
I spent my life getting the thrills and the spills; they scratched the itch for a while but were not happiness. They made the void bigger.
The only thing that can fill the void is the universe. That sounds like new age shit so let me elaborate.
The void is filled when we are in flow. Flow is when our memory is full front-to-back, but it’s pleasant.
Input -> processing -> output is smooth
Let’s view it as wind through a canyon on the planet of your self. This canyon run is your personage, shaped through a lifetime of experience. The wind that flows through my canyon will be very different to the wind that flows through yours.
So while we are being told that a Ferrari will fill the void… well it might. But only while you’re actually driving it and engaging with it; while it’s filling the void with the universe of horsepower.
Happiness is such a fucking bullshit word because it is inherently impossible to define and achieve. Fuck that shit. Find your shine, YOLO, motherfucker.
