So true. The current state of the world is driven more by empty prescriptions (read entertainment) and less by actual goals. Because for actually arriving to a goal, one has to become serious first.

reminds me of all the people who have sworn off alcohol because there are no scientifically provable positive impacts on wellness instead of, you know, having a drink every once in a while with friends if it makes you happy

There are lots of folks who aren't addicts or alcoholics for whom the structure of todo lists and schedules are a net benefit. The example of the Sunday dinner with the cofounder thing seems like a plausible but extreme example, and misleads the audience in thinking that's the sole reason for the rejection.

Man what a dork. "This guy wouldn't drop everything he was doing and have dinner with me on a Sunday night so I didn't let him be a co-founder anymore." 🤪 Imagine being proud of something so petty.

Thing to not wrap your identity in: - diet type - exercise type - chore schedule - fun type You can do all these things but if you find yourself saying something like “no I can’t, I’m vegan” you’ve jumped the shark
