Ai gives us a tangible baseline for what it means to think.
You can put a verifiable cost on the effort it takes a neural network to respond to your question "find me an all inclusive in on the costa brava where the drinks aren't shit".
The mechanics of your mind are not free.
The simplest reduction of this essay is to ask "why would anyone spend so much energy on self loathing?"
The unit cost of being a melt is high.
Stoicism or nihilistic reasoning is simply being frugal with your own energy.
The reason ignorance is bliss is because being dumb is a holiday for your nervous system.
The reason smart people are depressed is because self awareness is the spinning session that never fucking ends.
I have older friends in their 60s who make fun of me for doing therapy. they live like characters in a Frank Sinatra song. Up, down, love, loss. etc I graft, I give it a shot, i'm still here. I dunno which is the right way. Im glad you wrote about it. Thank you xxx
