Word of the Day: Summit - The highest point of a hill or mountain; The pinnacle of achievement, the highest attainable level of accomplishment. Health Cookie #18: In the previous Health Cookie, we talked about Dopamine, the neurotransmitter and hormone. I'd like to elaborate on Dopamine, and give you more information about it. Andrew Huberman said Dopamine is a "non-infinite yet renewable resource", which means you'll always make more, but it's easy to fully deplete your dopamine reserves through overstimulation; And whenever you fully deplete your reserves, after a lot of effort, accomplishment, high points and high moods or excessive indulgence in pleasures, you then suffer a temporary state of depression, like a rubber-band snapping back after being stretched, a recoil effect to balance the scales. How do you avoid this dopamine crash and ensure a stable baseline level of dopamine all the time? Simple: Downplay and reduce the significance of your achievements. Whenever you take a cold shower in the morning, don't think "Wow I'm amazing, I just accomplished something." Instead, just tell yourself that you've fulfilled a regular duty. All you've done is meet the standard of baseline competence that you demand of yourself, and nothing more. That might seem counter-intuitive, but honestly, this is what you have to do to ensure that you're always ready to keep accomplishing things. Even if you do reach a new plateau or exceed expectations in some way, you don't want to allow yourself to feel too strongly that you have, otherwise you'll disservice your capacity for continued effort. If you've just reached the top, then why would you even keep climbing? Thus there is no top, there is no summit; Your life is the practice of climbing the mountain of your mind in perpetuity and with humility, that is the very essence of what it means to be Promethean. The mountain never ends, thus your struggle to climb never ends, and you'll never be truly special until you've spent your entire life climbing and subsequently died climbing, died dreaming of the continued heights that you were certain to keep reaching if you had the gift of more time. The irony is, when you view life this way and you never let your achievements go to your head, then you never get depressed or become unmotivated, because your dopamine never has that rubber-band recoiling effect. In a sense you forgo the concept of motivation entirely and exchange it for discipline, which is significantly more reliable. Motivation asks "What is my reason to try today? Should I even try?" but discipline asks "Do I even need to feel motivated, just to meet the standard of doing what's expected of me? No, I don't. I will do my duty whether I feel like doing it or not." Funny thing is, this mentality of perpetual humility and the ceaseless downplaying of the significance of your achievements actually makes you more prone to continued achievement, rather than less prone toward it. Excessive indulgence in feelings of self-gratification is just yet another addiction that erodes the foundations of your constitution as an individual, and robs you of your potential.

We're gonna be livestreaming an Insane/Nightmare playthrough every day from now on, we played for 5 hours today! We're gonna be continuing that playthrough tomorrow, at 3 PM Atlantic Daylight Savings time. It's not Horde Every Night, it's a regular series with Blood Moons every 7 days, but we're still on Insane Nightmare to keep it intense 😃 Feel free to stop by any time to chill!

To the guy who wanted to quit smoking. Every morning when you wake up....Tell yourself that you want to quit over and over every morning and it will come. You need to train yourself and prep before you stop.

LOL no way! I really wasn't expecting it to work better than Starlink, but it really does. It's so much more consistent in megabits per second, never any drops! But I guess that's just the nature of satellite internet, it gets drops pretty often
