My love of film, media and music is a challenge to overcome.

• Turning off my brain to absorb is rarely useful.
  • Direct dopamine boosts will help ween myself down.
    • Hyperactivity is not easy to dial back from.

Health and happiness go hand in hand. They are intertwined and connected.

Ego can reach the sky or catapult into the ground in an instant.

• Confidence is gained and molded by time and skill alone.
  • Occasionally, simply acting confident can yield success.

Fantasy is always preferred. There is little failure and huge rewards.

• Life functions as a reaction to actions. Expect some randomness.

The bubble of comfort and dopamine blocks the sensible mind.

Discretion, modesty and values used to be the dominant traits.

• Commodification, pretension and sexuality took over quickly
  • I don’t enjoy the concept of comfortable ”sheep” but there is far less rational skepticism now.

Cognitive dissonance is impacting those that enjoy the Internet. They feel as if life is boring without stimulation, yet their addiction blinds them from unpleasant truths in favor of comfort.
