Lately I just want to exist in a way that feels natural. No over explaining, no performance, just moving through life in a way that makes sense to me. Slower, softer, more intentional. Less about proving, more about being.

I feel like a lot of liberals, especially the younger generation, don't really have any core beliefs other than "let everyone do as they please!" they're radical individualists. If something makes me happy, then it's good. If something makes them happy, then it's good because who am i to get in the way of someone else's happiness and freedom. No structural analysis. No attachment to anything other than individual personal fulfilment. Very spineless imo and antithetical to socialism and feminism.

i actually don't care about anything anymore

[perfumetripper]

not in a depressed way. i mean i've mentally detached myself from everything that bothers me because i just can't afford to care anymore.

i think the biggest capitalist scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.

"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"

you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance

i actually feel very simply that “easy dopamine” activities are not hobbies and “hard dopamine” activities are. even though i know the actual biochemistry behind this is not that simple or black and white. i still feel like it works!

easy dopamine: eating food, buying stuff, jacking off/having sex/consuming erotic content, passive consumption like scrolling or watching something that doesn’t challenge your mind at all (ie rewatching the office for the fifth time)

hard dopamine: creating something (arts and crafts, music, cooking, writing etc), puzzles/games, improving an environment (volunteering, gardening, fixing up a shed or house or car), consuming art that challenges you at least a little, exercise/sports (including art like dance or low impact exercise like exploration walking), teaching skills (to other people or to animals), etc

i think it’s like, is there friction or not. we live in a more and more frictionless world and in many ways that’s great (home appliances have liberated women from so much arduous and tedious labor, there is far less slavery in the world now) and in many ways it’s bad for us because everything worthwhile is also gated behind friction. our current state of relatively low friction comes to us from people who for 1000s of years fought relentlessly past friction to create frictionlessness. and once the friction is gone we forget it was ever there. we become dumber and more lazy than the people who saved us from it. wall-e. everybody watch wall-e again. wall-e
