    I'm pretty happy most of the time. The thing is, I don't know how I got here. But it took 75 years of not trying, and just living life as it happened.

    To simplify and take the science out of it human beings are naturally gregarious and you stimulate their well being with emotive connectivity I use it at work with my teams all the time. 😂❤ social media does not help… so many young people don’t know how to engage authentically, same for most managers actually….

      I focused on one small area, and noticed a change. Super proud i saw it!
      But when the begin/end frames were toggled,.. a bit shocked i did not see so many changes. Cool!

    Sustained and continued happiness is a new societal expectation imposed upon us. Holding the expectation over us makes people feel shame for not existing in this mythical state which then results in increased consumption to fill this "void" that was socially created.

    "It’s interesting that we're teaching students about 'the science of happiness' while their mental health crisis is only getting worse. Are these courses really providing long-term value or just temporary fixes? And why isn’t anyone addressing the root causes of this psychological crisis in today’s educational environment? Maybe the problem isn’t a lack of knowledge about happiness, but rather how universities are run more like businesses than supportive spaces for emotional and mental growth."

      The Meaning of Life:
      Imagine an endless clear glass tube (representative of Time), within which exists a diorama of life on Earth. The left most section depicting our earliest single-celled ancestors (3.5 billion years ago), leading through our present and into a future yet to be experienced (farthest right).
      Notice the tube (Time) and the diorama of life displayed within - exists Simultaneously; Past, Present, and Future all occurring concurrently. Every life form within the history of existence, an interconnected narrative: as 'Futures' cannot exist without Past events.
      Similarly to reading a book, we can only examine moments of our lives which had already transpired (Past), those pages yet read (Future) remain uncertain until experienced (no cosmic spoilers). We can only surmise possible outcomes based on prior events (pages read), although never guaranteeing accuracy of predicting Future events.
      Without the existence of Conscious experiences, there would be Nothingness. Life experiences, Experiences, simply for the sake of experiencing - which is why Life chronically craves varieties of stimuli.
      Our corporeal forms are assigned avatars, which allows Consciousness to experience material reality.
      Works of fiction (books, cinema, video games, etc.), allows individuals to experience an extended Consciousness, whereby our emotional states carry-over into fictional narratives (frustration, anger, joy, elation...). All of this, despite understanding such events are merely virtual (occurring within said individuals imaginations).
      Books are experienced in chronological order instead of a randomized order; in order to maintain a cohesive narrative flow. Within fictional works, every character arc has their entire fate sealed; from inception to demise - luck/chance has already been decided throughout.
      This is also why every Life is experienced through a predetermined progression. Reality is a sensory experience, simply for the sake of experiencing a physical Life.

    29:18 Damn, isolation is my preferred state - I do not thrive in a social setting; having spent decades trying to fit in it is just too exhausting these days! The good news is that I am fine and I feel no sense of loss or worthlessness (though I drink and smoke, so my morbidity remains high).
    Edit:34:07 But pessimists are *never* disappointed: either things go as badly as they expected, which is hardly a disappointment, or they turn out well, which is a total and surprising bonus. At best optimists get what they expected, but mostly they are disappointed that their expectations were not met - that has to get to you eventually. 35:20 Not my experience, certainly with exams. If you fail then you were inadequately prepared so you can definitely prepare better next time - it has never been a case of _I am a complete failure_ or _I am not good enough._ For the optimists I have known, it has generally been the end of the world with much metaphorical wailing and histrionics. I guess we have a difference definition of pessimist.

He "credits" ChatGPT in the images, which is also kind of offensive because there should be no reason to credit images generated that did not take credit into account when training the systems required to generate those images. Or copyright, for that matter, which is the more pressing legal issue.
