I wanted to share a blog post I wrote recently

I sometimes wonder if it's a good idea to give everyone access to the internet.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

It's kinda of lazy to simply copy-and-paste a great philosophers words in response to something you wrote in length with your own mind, but meh. I think mayhap this quote will resonate with you.

It does! I really admire what I've heard about Nietzsche, even if I don't agree that "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" (fuck you kanye west for taking that line and making an obnoxious song that they play at basketball games).

Right? A degenerative brain disease may not kill one, but certainly it doesn't make one's mind stronger

I suspect most people feel it, getting into a hobby is a great way to try shake off the existential angst. I wonder if you talked to your creature of habit what thoughts you'd find floating around in their heads. I think you might be surprised. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms.

It may seem a little obvious, but most people accept comforting truths instead of contemplating perplexing, paradox forming realities.

That's fair, but its easy to assume that just because people don't outwardly show their angst, that its not among their thoughts.

I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt.
