What Sam is saying is 100% true-- gratitude is essential. For decades I suffered from anxiety & depression and struggled with alcoholism & drug abuse. I am now enjoying a contentment and serenity I never knew was possible because I live by three main principles: Be kind to myself and others. Keep it simple. Always remember to be grateful.

In the Book 'the Island' by Aldous Huxley, the society on the Island trained birds to shout 'attention' and 'here and now, boys' to constantly remind people to pay attention to what is happening in the present moment and not be constantly distracted by thoughts of the past and the future. It's a powerful and important message which can not be repeated too often.

I thought this too.. about both Peterson and Harris. Except.. once I started reading psychology and philosophy books I see it everywhere. All of them basically over explain, and over provide examples to justify what they are saying about a completely non-factual phenomena (how you feel and how you are motivated to act being on opposite ends of the spectrum, their topic is the line that connects them). Peterson makes it worse by coming at it from a non-physical explanation of narrative/stories with sprinkles of psychology. Where as Harris is pretty much purely behavioral with a sprinkle of psychology.

I would leave Peterson out of that equation. He makes some adroit points about psychology but his grounding is lacking in the realms of philosophy, politics, and economics. He won't be remembered in 10 years other than as a cultural zeitgeist data point. Harris is great and a far more robust logician than Peterson. His arguments around religion are well constructed and thoughtfully articulated. I love him for that. I think some of his political policy ideas are a little primitive but overall Harris is a boss.

He said “Hunter Biden could’ve have the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared… because it wouldn’t compare to the corruption of Donald Trump”. He also can’t take responsibility or admit fault in that he was SOOO wrong over Covid. Instead he doubles down, picturing this scene where there’s a virus so deadly that babies would be dying that people would be horrified and wouldn’t have ANY doubts, skepticism, or even questions about vaccine safety. So yes, he threw all “wise and ooh intelligent” words out the window when he really revealed who he is. He’s a malignant prick and authoritarian wanna-be.

Watch Harris talk about Trump on the Lex Friedman podcast a few months ago if you want a recent defense of his views there. Criticizing a President of the United States who refuses to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and tries to steal an election is not letting them “have real estate in your head.” There’s basically nothing on Earth more worthy of criticism than a President trying to subvert the will of the people so as to illegitimately retain his power.

Before I go to sleep, and after taking an edible or toking, I consciously decide to enjoy the moment of relaxation on my pillow just prior to falling asleep.

I didn't know Sam had such a love of reptiles. His pythons are adorable.

There will come a time in your life when you would give anything to return to the moment you're in right now-no matter how difficult it seems. Even our hardest days may one day be looked back on with a longing for their lessons, their simplicity, or the strength they demanded from us. In the future, these struggles might become the very moments we wish to revisit

It's hard to feel gratitude when you don't know where you are getting your next meal or if you will have a place to live . When money is literally something you worry about.I am trying to be positive for what we have but it's hard.
