This had been one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in past years…”when to grit and when to quit”. Super happy that you sat down and acknowledged this challenge and even did a video on it.
I feel like I'm in a rut when it comes to meeting women and going on dates, then I remember how much at peace I am at without dating and it becomes a blessing.
Daydreaming is what will allow a person to sit without a phone. People have lost this ability to due to having instant gratification at their fingertips
Stillness is peace, not boredom, in a noisy world of headless chickens, worry warts, and mad hatters. We need to sober ourselves from digital stimulation and attune our offline stability in digital spaces.
Thoughts on antidepressants? Because apparently I have been struggling with actual depression my entire life and while therapy kind of helped it never "cured" me. Not until I sought out pharmaceuticals from my doctor. I feel like a whole new person now. Thoughts on the stigma of pharmaceuticals is my question I guess.
I naturally love routines and things to remain kind of the same, I think I drank to create some level of chaos or unpredictability. Quitting drinking certainly makes it easier to sit in routines. I feel lucky that my wife is naturally chaotic and the complete opposite to me. I joke with her if she wasn't around I'd just sit in a white room doing nothing. But with her around there is always several random projects and ideas going on around the house, color everywhere and I never know what she will come up with next. It is classic opposites attract.
Good stuff. This brought to my attention the bit of my ego that was proud of being able to tolerate some level of boredom more than most people. It got me to reflect a bit on whether that's something I should really be proud of just having or something I should be developing further and utilizing in some way. I thought of myself in that experiment and assumed I'd probably just be able to sit still for however long, but after considering it enough, I don't really know how far my "ability" extends to. It kinda links to natural talent vs dedication and development, where if you're talented, you could be blinded by that very talent and never truly put into it if you don't realize that you have to do the work, too. I think the raw-dogging flights stuff is pretty interesting too. If we as a society become more tolerant of the boring and mundane, we may stop seeing those things connotated as such and shift the expected paradigm of our generation's future selves.
Mark hit 40 and turned into an old man. I get it. I hit 48 this month but I’m turning the clock back! I’m one of those people who has routine novel experiences that I tend to do over and over.
Don’t know how I ended up here but hearing Mark Manson quoting Peter Thiel recently confirms that these guys really know what they are doing, cultivating relationships with people like him to advance right wing political agendas. Peter Thiel isn’t just right wing, he’s extreme. Seducitive no doubt to be courted by people with that kind of wealth but i seriously hope he doesn’t go down that path along with so many others.
Hi Mark you mentioned that you play video games and am curious if you have encountered this process: when I was a child I used to play video games for long hours, titles like mass effect which were very enjoyable but now as an adult because of the few remaining free time when I play something I often feel that I don't enjoy it as much and when I start a similar long game after 9h I give up and end up only playing card games which finish in max 2h.
Oh Mark, its not brainwashing yourself, its just common sense wisdom that grows on you as you grow older! Wait till you are 55 Mark! Huge changes round the corner!
I think that u are terrified of playing the music is Because u put alot of importance to it that's why alot of resistance, fir example I choose accounts course but I cannot even revise 3 hours it's exhaustimg I hate accounts but I like the identity of accountant so in ur case I feel like u give so much importance until ur brain resist and u don't wanna do it anymore, is that make sense?? I too as accountant I like the identity put too much importance until I delay taking action its draining and exhausting, can u if don't mind explain more about this or am I. Wrong??
Immanuel Kant never left his town? I would have expected a bit more of professional research here. Just check Wikipedia, that's defo not correct the way it's been put here. Happy to do the research job for you in the future Mark! 😜
Schopenhaur made clear that boredom is an inherent part of the human condition. Just accept the fact that right now you both are experiencing good health. Without that, you would long for just normality and little novelty would be so welcome. This was all a little tiresome, wait until you both get older.

I don’t think mediation is becoming comfortable with boredom - it is the complete and comfortable confronting of the present moment and environment.
Wonderful
Thisbis something that I can share and pass on to my 18yr old son ...all of it
The Periphery intro track yessssssss!! My 2 worlds colliding!

Hello sir I am a beggenar and I also want to learn about life please make a detailed video about how can I focused in my work
Bruh one of my favorite writers using one of my favorite bands in his intro 😤💪
❤ thank you! Great stuff!
21:50 I don’t know if I would’ve used that analogy but i get it
Do you guys bulk these video shootings ? I still don't understand since you guys live in different states
Inject chaos in your life: find a group of people who need help and help them. Haha
35:00 that’s a looooot of survivor bias though.
Survivorship bias is underrated. It needs more exposure.

Same. I also feel the pressure for playing rpg games because I know it’s going to take forever so I feel really guilty
I am at a point in my life where I don’t know what to do with myself. I have done too much. What now?
Mark is that you shredding on the intro to the pod?! 🤘🏾😝🎸
Oh Mark, its not brainwashing yourself, its just common sense wisdom that grows on you as you grow older! Wait till you are 55 Mark! Huge changes round the corner!
