I asked a woman out like this. I was done with things. Just, done. With people, with things. An Indian woman in my building. I just finished a veer and I didn't care about life anymore. Asked her if she had a man, asked her to dinner at my place. She said yes and we had a good time. It gave me life. Simply got tired of everything else. Another no wasn't going to ruin me, but a yes changed me.

My job was really getting to me after 6 years, went camping with some friends for a week with no reception, did some hunting, went for walks, got drunk around the fire, was the best time I had in years. It really helped to put everything in perspective. Ever since then I started caring less and less about my job and I've noticed I started to get better at it, my mental health has been improving, and my relationship has been better too. It's really difficult to stop caring about something, but for me this isn't a career, it's a job. They can buy my time but they can't buy who I am.

Yeah, that sort of thing, getting back to the source, getting out of this artificial bullshit, it's a million times better than any therapy. Therapy exists to condition people to tolerate this artificial bullshit. In that way, therapy is evil. It's people forcing themselves to accept a world that is alien to us, or rather, contrary to our natural inclinations. In the woods with a small tribe, despite the discomforts of living outdoors? It's a healing experience. The loneliness and anonymity of cities is what's breaking people, but worse, people are adapting to it. You want to be healthy up top, in the old grey matter? See the same faces relatively often. Learn their names, make sure they know yours. Dunbar's number, you can fit about 200 people in your head. Say hi to people, make eye contact, if there's a storm or a fire, check in on each other. Help and don't keep score.

I watched Office Space for the first time at uni. At that point I was a geology undergraduate looking to land 150k a year making notes about rocks in a desert in some foreign country 7 days a week 8 months a year. Now I make beer and whisky for a living 15 minutes from my house. I play with my son for hours every day, go on adventures with my wife, and cook meals for the both of them, which they seem to enjoy. Fuck the grind, Office Space saved my life.

Not to sound lofty, but I would consider Office Space one of the most *important*, culturally significant movies ever made, and should be preserved in the National Film Registry. Nearly ALL of us can relate to how bad jobs and workplaces are managed. It has a universal appeal and a message for thought. That said, the characters take things to extremes, especially in 1999 when, if you were a software developer of any kind that was decent, you could pretty much name your job back then. Instead, these guys risked federal imprisonment for "the big retirement payout", but they ended up with other jobs anyway.

Society sells a lie. That you should always be happy and do what makes you happy. To “follow your passion” and have more, be more, do more. It’s a lie that’ll make you miserable. Sometimes you just have to put your shoulder to the wheel and push on through a crappy day, a crappy job, a crappy year and be a responsible adult. Good days wouldn’t exist without bad days. Good experiences wouldn’t exist without bad experiences. There will always be contrast because there must be. It’s ok. Just accept that and move through it. Having a good day? I can tell you what’s coming. Having a bad day? Don’t worry, because things will also change soon. Life is suffering. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

This advice works for relationships btw. Once you stop chasing and giving a damn, your eyes finally see the real opportunities in your life. When you want too much you're desperate and have tunnel vision - ignoring all the opportunities outside of said narrow vision. When you relax, step back and reassess from a more macro perapective you see all of what you missed but also all the things you WOULD have missed had you not altered your perception. The first half of my life I spent working to live. But later I got caught up in the jank, a perfect storm happens + 2020 and now I'm working to live. But I already see the problem, see what it's caused and will be cutting this way short. The only way I lived a fun and adventurous life with tons of friends (which I still have btw) was working so I may LIVE. Aka *actually* live it and not be dependent on any one job.

I concluded a while back that our culture really confuses us about the nature of happiness. We are told every day to associate happiness with pleasure, distraction, and luxury. But that view of it just makes it something to be constantly pursued without ever really finding it. It’s a great way to create dissatiafaction in order to convince people to spend more money, but it doesn’t get you happiness. Happiness is something that can be found all around us every day, in the little things, if we only slow down to look.

Really great message and organization of this video essay. Seeking to maximize pleasure and minimize pain is too simplistic and will lead us to a point of numbness at best. What we want is to put in work and risk and suffer a bit for the things that we find are worth it. Some of those things will be material, because having a certain level of stability helps a lot, but some of those things aren't really things--connectedness, well-being, community, sense of purpose.

Very good video. Do like the simple but profound idea that acceptance of the negative experience transform it into positive experience.

"hates his job but is afraid to lose it" is exactly where I am right now. I hate office work and the pay is just okay, but I really need the benefits because of health issues I have, and unfortunately all the other jobs out there that I can do and even enjoy doing pay poverty wages and/or have no benefits attached to it because we live in a world that does not value those jobs the same way office work/white collar jobs are valued

You also have to differentiate pain from suffering. Avoiding pain is what makes you unhappy, a life without purpose and not understanding the nature of problems, suffering is putting value on yourself because of your circumstances and not being content

Thank you for this video. You've inspired a meditation session that will likely lead to more regular meditation and hopefully the discovery of what I am willing to suffer for.

Happiness means not comparing yourself to others.

It’s not about giving a f it’s about letting go. Allowing life to flow. And allowing what is not for you to fall away and what is for you to come forward. You just don’t attach yourself through fear you allow with love.

His positivity about the firing is out of the charts. Loved that part. BTW, you've made this video just to say the word "fucks" with a green light without youtube policing you with some of their political comissairs moderators.

The movie holds a philosophical meaning/sense. Absolut classic.
