1
So there's this trend called friction maxing, which sounds stupid until you realize that most of your problems come from the fact that your life is actually too easy.
2
Like, seriously, we can get food without moving, you can date without leaving your couch, you can be entertained 24 -7 without a single second of boredom.
3
But somehow, people feel worse than they've ever felt before.
4
And I don't think this is an accident.
5
Because the parts of life that we've been trying to eliminate, they were never the bugs.
6
They were never the problems.
7
They were actually kind of the whole point itself.
8
Like, being bored is good.
9
It's when your brain actually starts working creatively and finding new ways to approach problems.
10
It's useful friction.
11
Making your own food is good.
12
It forces you to be conscious about what you eat.
13
Having to go outside to meet people is good.
14
It forces you to think about who you care about seeing and how you want to present yourself to the world.
15
An abundance of convenience has robbed us of a lot of the opportunities to find meaning in small, everyday experiences.
16
Friction -maxing, well, it's about choosing those difficult experiences on purpose so that you can feel more purpose.
