The deeper boredom David Foster Wallace is talking about here is acedia: an ancient name for a deep spiritual torpor. It’s a restless refusal to face reality, swinging between frantic distraction and hollow apathy. Tech didn't create it, but it does exacerbate it. I write about acedia, and how to break out of it, in my new book THE ONE AND THE NINETY-NINE.

What are "thin" desires? And how do we know the difference between those desires that come and go and the "thicker" desires that are solid, meaningful, and don't disappoint? I explore this question in my book WANTING: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. #philosophy #meaning #life #wisdom #books #knowledge #mimetic #inspiration

Augustine had a word for the vice of the internet age: curiositas. It doesn't mean "curiosity", but rather a disordered desire for knowing stuff regardless of its real value. It is the intellectual twin of bodily lust—the following of ephemeral passions without regard for consequences or what they're leading to. It's the act of knowing stuff as a form of possession; as if knowing everything that the latest Dwarkesh podcast guest had to say has any real value in itself.

Are you paying the "misery tax"? When I was building my startups, I would work long days, every day. Then, I would indulge in excess: drinking too much, eating too much, losing money on things I didn't even want. It took a toll on my health, on my relationships, and my finances. Why was I doing this? I realized that I was consuming things to feel better about myself in order to wake up the next day and do what I really didn't want to do. When our goals are based on desires we've adopted from other people, that mismatch can lead to a feeling of unfulfillment. The solution is to understand the forces at work, like mimetic desire, that are causing us to pay the misery tax. @theminimalists #philosophy #meaning #wisdom #life #books #knowledge #inspiration #technology

Is What You Want Making You Miserable? When I was young, the things I thought would make me happy made me miserable. It inspired me to dive into the origin of my desires.

One man had the courage to refuse to salute Adolf Hitler in a 1936 photograph. How did he resist the pull of the crowd? That question led me on a journey to understand the tension between the one and the many. #philosophy #wisdom #knowledge #inspiration #books #meaning #technology #mimetic #education #life #ai #politics #history

There have been many books about how to find your tribe, and I've found a lot of various tribes over the course of my life. But what I hadn't seen before is a book about how to actually exist in a community without becoming somebody that you don't even recognize. The One and the Ninety-Nine: Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion is available now wherever you get your books. With @bridget.phetasy on Walk Ins Welcome

Seeking prestige is a slippery slope. We can seek superficial forms of status, or more grounded forms of status. Follow me to see more insights you can put to work in your life. The goal of my work is to help people develop their solid self—the core of every person that is the heart of conscience, identity, and ultimately joy.

@notmichaelknowles: "This fear of actually stating something, because we don't want to offend people, because we don't really have the courage of our convictions, or maybe because we don't have a stable identity and we're lost in the morass of gushy emotion." People often don't recognize the connection between what you feel and what you think. We need to disentangle feelings from ideas and from a sense of self or identity. #philosophy #wisdom #knowledge #inspiration #life #meaning #technology #mimetic #education #ai #politics

Why do you want the things you want? We like to believe that our desires come from deep within us, but the more likely source is that we want what we see others wanting. Understanding this dynamic is the first step to managing its influence in your life. From my wide-ranging conversation with @bishop_barron about the nature of desire. #philosophy #wisdom #life #knowledge #inspiration #meaning

Wanting the same thing can lead to conflict, from the boardroom to the Moon. Imagine turning ten toddlers loose in a room with more toys than you can imagine. What invariably happens? They all focus in on one toy, because one kid picks it up and the others begin to desire it. Soon, it's a tug-of-war. This principle plays out across society, geopolitics, and our careers. #philosophy #meaning #wisdom #life #knowledge #inspiration #technology #mimetic #ai

AI can simulate goodness, but what does it mean to call a machine "good?" I think we need to be having fundamental discussions about what it means to be a human person first. With Bridget Phetasy on Walk Ins Welcome

We often forget about the good times in our lives, but occasionally a clarifying moment happens where our 'thin' desires fall away and what's truly important is left. #philosophy #meaning #inspiration
