overshare time: my therapist diagnosed me w/ depression & anxiety a few years ago. she prescribed meds which i stopped taking bc they made me feel lifeless. At a complete loss, I started routinely praying w/ gratitude every morning & evening, & when i went to see a new therapist

Prayer is one expression of "mental work" by which we turn from the finite and perishing ("negative thinking") towards the Good and the Infinite. Prayer, among other things, is breaking the mind out of loops of negativity and "opening" up the possibility of Divine enlightenment and action.

She accidentally described one of the most replicated findings in behavioral psychology.
Harvard and Duke researchers found in 2011 that people value things they build themselves 63% higher than identical pre-assembled versions. They called it the IKEA effect. Labor alone, even assembling a standardized box from instructions, is enough to make people overvalue their own creations.
Gardening runs this effect at full intensity. You chose the seeds. You dug the holes. You watered daily. By harvest, your brain has priced that tomato at roughly 10x grocery store rates, and the math feels completely justified.
Now stack Kahneman and Tversky's loss aversion on top. Losses register at approximately 2x the emotional intensity of equivalent gains. One of the most replicated findings in behavioral economics.
So the aphid eating her garden is triggering both simultaneously. She built something her brain values at 163% of objective worth. She's watching it get destroyed in real time. Her nervous system is processing that destruction at double intensity.
The grocery store tomato being out of stock? Mild annoyance. Zero labor investment means zero IKEA effect, means proportional emotional response.
The garden tomato carries months of accumulated effort justification. The aphid isn't eating a $4 tomato. Her brain priced it at $40 and is processing the loss at $80.
Gardening is the only common hobby that combines the IKEA effect, loss aversion, and a live adversary that reproduces faster than you can respond.
The violence tracks.

This topic is well published in scientific literature. Fisheries scientists have spoken out about this in many online lectures I have attended. China is depleting Africa's fish stocks.
Dr. Minh Tran@MinhDr18
See, one China trawler can strip more fish in weeks than local fleets catch in months Now picture 10,000 of them, nonstop, year-round, ignoring recovery cycles and crowding waters near places like the Galápagos Islands This is eco-terrorism. And we’re still too quiet about it

People don't want to hear this... but this is actually Millennials. Andy Weir is a Gen X, but the sincerity of his books speak to the generation under him. Millennials grew up in a time where they bullied each other for being sincere as the nihilism of Gen X culture was the dominant force. As soon as we became adults, we split into two groups: 1) continued on the path of cynicism into drugs, debauchery, and pushing back against personal responsibility, or 2) were free of the conformity of our youth and could finally do whatever we wanted and ernestly as we wished. This is why authors like Andy Weir have an audience, filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve as well. People are craving sincerity after a lifetime of being told not to care.

If you see Project Hail Mary this weekend, I hope you'll remember how I told you over 3 years ago that stuff like this was going to explode in pop culture. -From ironic cynicism to post-ironic sincerity. -Embracing the "cringe" & the celebration of the earnest "try-hard." -From deconstructing the past, to a nostalgia for some positive "vibe" we lost in the deconstruction. -The rejection of Fight Club-era nihilism. -The ability to stare at the apocalypse in front of you and be hopeful instead of a "doomer."

Found an AI perspective I’d never heard before from a teacher of teens. It’s a bit meandering but your three minutes will be well used.

Shout out the Buddha and everyone before and after him who has taught on this.
Do not build monuments to your suffering. Do not seek out gratuitous suffering.
It’s a small, boring way to live. There is nothing special about it. Find something better to do with yourself.
ouba@oubagaku
one of the more dangerous thoughts is to think your suffering is special and unique

Tech bros will never have taste because taste evolves from liking things purely for their own sake, and tech bros cannot conceive of value that is not tied to profit or clout

The actual way to have energy and transportation security against crises like this is to decarbonize your transport system - transition to electric public transport, electric work vehicles, walking and cycling.
