I knew this society would not be able to last from the first time I saw them commanding the children to sing

we need to get better at handling people controlled by fear.

you can spot them easily. they are the ones whose ideology seems to be against shit. I talk like that a lot of the time, and guess why. it's the fear.

berating people who are controlled by fear isnt going to influence them, as you already know from experiences in both positions.

abusing their fear could influence them, but that's not worth doing.

I can identify them. but what's the best way to reach them in your experience?

Im going to have a cup of tea and I'm really excited!

I heard the ancient wisdom again this morning, in a book that pointed out it keeps being ratified again and again in modern scientific enquiry:

happiness comes exclusively from wanting what you have, and not at all from having what you want.

I didnt know I was capable of excitement about a cup of tea but on reflection it's only logical. I love tea, and I want to be happy. so wanting this thing I have, which makes me happy, well of course it should work this way.

how does our modern world of hyperconsumption work with this idea that happiness comes from wanting what you have, not from getting what you want?

it doesnt work well. we consume incredible wonders and are often miserable while we do it.

advertising, which serves our consumption economics, is the discipline of getting people to want shit you have enough so they buy it.

hard not to take the view that this constant bombardment of ads trains us into craving and out of happiness.

I am loving this new outlook I got from a therapy session, which reached me through hearing this fact:

my behaviour and my identity do not have to be consistent with my past behaviour and identity; they have to be consistent with my values.

for me, having this pointed out like that has improved my life. I now find it much easier spotting reactions I dont want to be having and determining what reaction my values would prefer, and doing that instead.

bearing more witness than the sum of your combined responsibility and influence is self-harm.

because showing depictions of real world horror to a person over and over is a recognised form of torture.

please observe your responsibilities to the problems of the world in full, including the ones you have to your own wellbeing.

sacrificing your health hurts the cause. it does not help it.

imagine having enough money to be the last best hope of humanity on earth and choosing instead to be the first least concern of humanity on mars
