@Austen I gave cursor a go for the first time yesterday and it is super impressive but agree far from a panacea.

you talk about your bouts of depression. it seems quite yin and yang - you must’ve been feeling very pessimistic but you mention that something must’ve been there to keep you around. would you describe that something as optimism?

[Lewis @Lew1sDean]

@visakanv “some people are playacting their optimism for social reasons … but they mouth the platitudes because they think it’s socially preferable to being a pessimistic, cynical killjoy”

this made me think. I hate pessimism, so i share this motivation. but i am optimistic.

[Lewis @Lew1sDean]

but also prone to thinking things are much worse than they are, which i guess is a form of pessimism?

I was in a hole with this in 2019 and reading enlightenment now and the beginning of infinity really helped in fixing my pessimism about the state of the world
