I’m a regular guy, I’m about 23 years old, I work at a job with a flexible schedule, the job is more or less acceptable, although sometimes it’s very annoying because of the extra repairs. Lately, I’ve been really wanting to go to festivals with cosplayers and stuff, but time is tight, and because of AI and data centers, there is even less time than there could be. And I never even went on a date, I constantly postponed everything for later, and now it seems to me that everything is lost.

    De-ideology oneself:

    Ideologies/prejudices/assumption-rivers/“religions” REACT, & that’s fatal, in The Apocalypse.

    Vipassana meditation makes one less controlled by reacting & more FREE to CHOOSE one’s course-of-action in situational-crunches.

    ANY variant of letting-go-of-thoughts/cognitions/mechanism, simply BEing AWARENESS, whether Theravada Buddhist, or any other, whether tied-to-slow-steady-breathing, or to whole-skin-awareness, or whatever, will work, but combined-arms, removing all the mechanistic “doing” of mind, & becoming only BEing, would be right.

    Circle-drumming & surfing both improve this mental-capability, btw…

    Zag, when your-death wants you zigging, if you see what the principle means…
