"Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care. What you wish to sing of as tragic love is an attachment not carefully chosen. Die for one person? This is a craziness. Persons change, leave, die, become ill. They leave, lie, go mad, have sickness, betray you, die. Your nation outlives you. A cause outlives you." This is water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbGM4mqEVw&t=5s Character map is attached

I went and saw a nutritionist recently, and she told me that going to the gym 5 days a week to lift is too frequent, I should only do it twice a week. That that's what "they" recommend. I think she's a fucking moron for saying this You guys are all big and muscley. How frequently do you lift? She also said I should do cardio once a week. ???

What are you grateful for? What are you most excited about this week?

In IJ they talk about American’s constant want of ‘freedom from’ everything but never the importance of ‘freedom to’ do things It paints us as petulant children, avoiding responsibility and claiming it as a virtue. We want entertainment or drugs even if they kill is, all in the name of choice But we won’t make any collective effort to create a responsibility of choice. Is freedom of choice really better if we only ever choose the self, or choose things that are terrible for us?

I fell off the podcast wagon about 2 or 3 years ago. My favorites were Choose Fi (especially the episodes w Sean Mulaney), the one with Doc G and the one with Frank Vasquez. I liked BP money sometimes too, and the one with Carl Jensen (hilarious). Anyway what are you listening to and why? I think Choose FI got formulaic although the host seems like a sweetheart.
