It’s a cross between our innate limitations, a societal system which works against us but continues from sheer momentum, and then by design by those who benefit. I don’t think most people woke up and decided to live apathetic lives. We are chronically cognitively tasked
Thank you. That’s kind of you to follow up with us
Another comment mentioned Baron’s workbooks. Any other resources for exercises which you’d recommend?

Dental procedures helped me understand that most of us would quickly buckle under torture
Whenever you write something like that, you are training it to be true
It’s interesting how I immediately know the account you are talking about (even if I don’t recall the username). Their response to your comment is also on-brand
Anything along the lines of Civ, Stellaris. I have no self control with that type of game. It’s the only type of game where I could go hours skipping everything healthy for the body.
You know, I can go with that. I was just reflecting how her response to all this is a beacon of light in what is otherwise an absolutely grim, disgusting event.
Read the headline, immediately checked if this was some the onion type of magazine
