Off Topic: Since it linked to GitHub. I clicked. Than my 1st thought was, "This must be a web learning project for the author." Otherwise this page could be made in 1 .html page instead of 50+ files present in the repository!
Meet people where they are, and make it as easy as possible to start doing something
There's a whole trend at the moment called 'raw dogging' (sigh) that means to do something like take a flight with no entertainment, books, phone turned off, etc. etc.
That reminds me of a specific (de)motivational video of one of my favorite comedians Masood Boomgaard, which specifically covers the rat race that prevails in todays workplace culture. While it's meant to be funny, it actually touches some deeper philosophical truths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8An2SxNFvmU [Do Nothing - a message of motivation from Self-help Singh- (un) motivational speaker and life coach]
"The world is fucked, and you cannot un-fuck it."
"You will die one day just as confused as you are now."
"Everything you think you need to do was done before you and will be done after you."
"Whether you are fat or thin haters will hate."
"Nothing really matters."
There are some really deep insights in all of those thoughts, thanks for sharing.
PS: this remembers me of a sketch about giraffes being an animal created by a gay friend of the comedian, after the sketch I learned that giraffes engage in male-male acts more often than male-female acts and got mindblown. They have been called "especially gay" for this fact.
The non-action of the wise man is not inaction.
It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything.
The sage is quiet because he is not moved,
Not because he wills to be quiet.
