@rookisaacman@John_Hudson The ability to laugh at yourself is a superpower. Many people can't do that. I would have lost my mind if I could not occasionally laugh at myself or some of my mistakes. I can't imagine the pain of going through life being offended all the time.
Your analysis matches my experience of having a high stress IT job. Carnivore and Keto help me, but I have had ups and downs, but feel like I'm mastering things now and figuring it out. Ice bath in the morning help me take on the day and hot soak at night helps me wind down. Biking will be ramping up now. Biking helps a lot.
Scott Adams was what I call a "different thinker." Perhaps an awkward term, but some people just think very differently than the rest of us and they have fascinating ideas.
It isn't philosophy, it's garage mechanics, but I would also encourage you to watch "sixty five ford" on Youtube.

Definitely a different thinker.
I recently found you due to a tip from my nephew. Glad he mentioned you. You have been fun to watch. Great advice from you here and on youtube.
The way I feel right now is most problems will only be solved at our level.
You want honesty? Be 100% honest yourself.
You want energy independence? Be energy independent yourself.
People are struggling? If each able person helps one, or maybe two, very worthy people, directly, that will be amazing. That said it is VERY difficult to help someone and have good results. It takes experience.
When you are happy make a list of everything you know you can do to be happy. In my experience when you are depressed it will be hard to remember these things. It can be a simple list, but then when you have a down day work through the list.
For example:
Stretch
Eat Carnivore
For a change-up - Drink a green juice.
Cardio Exercise
15 minutes in cold tub
Get out in the sun.
etc.
Your list may be far different but that's cool. Do what works for you.
Review I posted with Trust Pilot and the BBB: AT&T tried to get me to switch to fiber internet. They knocked on my door all summer. If I went out to the garage and opened the door someone from AT&T was there trying to sell to me. I was happy with Comcast. Recently Comcast has had issues so I was going to add AT&T. AT&T has been to my house half a dozen times with installers and construction crews and can't get it done. It is too long to type, but needless to say this is the most incompetent company I have ever seen. The main issue was a frozen pipe under the street that they could not run a fiber cable through. The pipe was finally fixed and they just needed to run the cable the next day and they cancelled my appointment with no notification. The the last straw when I called in they said I was out of their fiber area. Amazingly bad and btw I'm not out of their area, it is just more incompetence. They really deserve zero stars. I guess I'm sticking with Comcast with Starlink as backup.
