First I’ll talk shit and then I’ll say what I agreed with.

Having fun will make you hotter and richer

  1. She said: if you max fun you’ll get everything you want in life:

    • health
    • wealth (literal money)
    • happiness
    • success
    • hotness

    Who said that those were the goals? We get those things to max fun, not max fun to get those things. Dumb.

  2. Betterhelp sponsorship
    Fun itself is therapy. We don’t get a therapist to enable fun.

  3. She sells a course to “awaken your feminine energy”
    wtf does that mean? who wants this? what is feminine energy? again she’s predefining the goal of fun to something that’s not the goal at all.

  4. We have more health knowledge about our own bodies than ever before. We optimize our lives so much that we forgot how to have fun.

    • reading -> productivity
    • walking -> step count
    • cooking -> tracking macros
    • journaling -> healing
    • travel -> instagram
    • frienship -> networking
    • rest -> recovery
    • working out -> optimization

    Are people really doing this? I have never done any of these things. Is she projecting? Or is this normal? Have I been using the word “optimize” wrong?

  5. “Creativity” means the ability to think

    No it doesn’t. It means creating something. Thinking is not creative. Creating things is.

  6. Fun makes you hotter

    It definitely makes you more attractive, but “hot” is something specific and gross.

  7. Lower the bar for what counts as fun.

    No. It’s the opposite. Stop being content with sipping a cup of tea. The status quo sucks. Get out there and have some real fun. Get loose.

Fun is energy - it turns the system back on

  1. We don’t need to earn rest and enjoyment - we’re entitled to it

  2. Consistency and discipline are easy/effortless when it’s fun - they’re a byproduct of passion

    This is basically the meaning of “easy is better than hard”

  3. How can I make this more fun? Fun is available - actively choose it.

    I wrote/write about this here and here and basically everywhere

  4. Build your life and work around what you enjoy

    how is this not obvious? why do we need to say it? our brains reward us with happy feeling when we do the evolutionary advantageous behavior. fun is an instinct. stop repressing it today!
