Because "knowing it" isn't the whole picture.

It's actually only a very tiny part of the picture.

You're asking about what motivates you. Knowing can motivate. Experience motivates more tho. So does habit and some other stuff.

Ah. Nobody can afford un-enshittified products anymore.

It's progressive invisible poverty.

Overwhelming emotion is the mind killer. I will let the overwhelming emotion pass over me and through me. And after it is gone silence will remain.

That's basically vipassana meditation. It's the only technique I've found.

I think everybody else just fakes it. A calm smile masking raging insanity

You're just a lazy asshole.

That's my favorite

From the ocean of laziness comes fabulous fishes. But you have to enter the ocean of laziness first. You've got to submit to it and be okay with it. And then when you are all floppy and spread out like that, a true inspiration will arise.

Is "i don't want to" enough? No justification. Just I don't want to.

I think that the heart of executive dysfunction is the conflict between your own guiding forces and the guiding forces offered by society.

In our society it is assumed that it is only good and healthy that you submit to the latter. And the vast majority of us do, smoothly and automatically.

But some of us are different and this process of submission is not smooth. It might not even happen at all. There will be that ongoing conflict.

the "hopelessly lost" aspect of the matrix bears here. You are disinclined to doubt the reality of a game that you are successful in. Without that doubt you won't escape it. So success becomes failure because it directly increases your lostness.

Video games lack that "hopelessly lost" aspect. I mean, nobody mistakes them for reality and never comes back. (Right?). So I'm excluding them.

That's a big if. And "real world" is shakey too. Yr running with a stretchy hypothetical here.

Except for poetry. When you wake up from your dreamcoffin you'll still have your poetry skills and a few memorized poems.
