Things to do instead of Doomscrolling.

I've discovered https://t.co/iBMKJ5Sg8i and I will now try to read something from it daily. This is an attempt and I have little faith in its continuity.

Try, however, I must. Maybe, who knows, this event might soon be proof of capability

This essay has such a high density of useful ideas. Incredible how Jonny manages to make these concepts feel both legible and memetic. It already seems to have helped so many people, and I imagine it will help many more

one of my favorite niche psychoanalysis ideas is winnicott’s Dead Mother Complex

the theory goes like this: when a child grows up with an emotionally absent primary attachment figure (symbolic Mother; could be actual mother or other guardian), they tend to grow up to be particularly charming and magnetic as adults. the reason this happens is because the child, unable to cope with the reality of having a detached caregiver, learns to “reanimate” the emotionally lifeless corpse of the Mother; the more detached and abandoning the Mother, the more the child learns to read subtle signs of pulling away + how to effectively entertain, validate, and bring life to the attachment object.

this explains at least in part some of the “charisma is a trauma response” hypothesis. there’s not much literature or research on it but i find it incredibly fascinating despite being relatively unknown

your dysfunctional parents need to be scared of you to respect you. you have to show your parents that you are insane & they created a person crazier than them. that is the dysfunctional parent psychology.

If you've never done a half marathon, I am now officially better than you. Total elapsed pace was 10 something. Drank 50cl of coke at km 16.

Half marathon runners, why does my pubic symphysis joint hurt?

On that note, life is long

If you read the biography of any notable public figure, they were focused on different things at different points in their life

You might know someone as an author, only to find out they also also served in the Royal Air Force (literally the life of Roald Dahl)

Purpose is not singular. You are multifaceted. You have a lifetime to explore the different sides of yourself (some that you didn’t even know existed). Something you spend years doing might simply prepare you for the thing you eventually become known for.

Different seasons will call forward different capacities.
