A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

[Farnoush Amiri @FarnoushAmiri]

Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”

The World Cup just proves that people around the world want to chill, drink, eat, and bullshit together

Came for the World Cup… stayed for the South.

I don’t want a soft life because I’m lazy. I want a soft life because my nervous system has been in fight or flight mode since childhood.

[Kyle Tibbitts @KyleTibbitts]

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.

You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.

For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.

Hey, I need y'all to hit mute on the TV for 30 seconds and watch a clip of the most Scottish people I've ever seen coming into Boston.

[Lawrence Elliot @LawrenceElliots]

Brian Johnson’s project is a perfect expression of the inversion of values characteristic of modern society.

Traditional civilisations oriented themselves toward ‘being’

Modern civilisation orients itself toward ‘becoming’

becoming is the realm of change, flux, instability, temporality, and death.

being is the realm of permanence, form, transcendence, and participation in something that exists beyond time.

the traditional man sought transcendence through vertical ascent rather than horizontal extension (transcendence beyond the body)

The modern obsession with longevity mistakes duration for significance. <Seeking physical extension (horizontal) before spiritual transcendence (vertical)>

We moved from

‘What must a man become?

To

How long can a man remain alive?

And the irony is that modern longevity culture often presents itself as heroic.

Endless biomarker tracking, glucose monitors, MRI scans, supplements, sleep optimization, gene analysis, and age-reversal interventions are framed as a courageous struggle against biological limitation.

But this represents the exact opposite of heroism.

The warrior accepts mortality and seeks mastery over himself.

The modern longevity enthusiast accepts neither mortality nor transcendence.

He seeks mastery over biomarkers

Subscribing to the idea that because medicine advances, life expectancy rises, and technology improves, humanity itself progresses

But a civilisation may (has) become more technically capable while simultaneously becoming spiritually weaker

What is adding thirty years to a life without a corresponding elevation of being ?

The modern world has produced a man who possesses unprecedented power over his biological machinery yet remains terrified of the fundamental condition of existence.

Unable to confront death spiritually, he attempts to defeat it technically.

He mistakes preservation for victory and longevity for transcendence.

The result is a civilisation increasingly concerned with extending life while becoming progressively uncertain about what life is for.

All of America watching Euros rave about Waffle House, Chilis apps, buying Combos at a rural gas station, floating the Chattahoochee, and ranch dressing on the internet:

@McJuggerNuggets I’ve worked with many children and adults with Down syndrome. They are absolute angels on earth. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m sorry you missed out on the most incredible love you could have ever had.
