    AA, that intro was from the heart. You're running into the same stuff you were dealing with in your video "Authenticity and Faustian Man" (one of your best IMO). You need to take up a hobby that forces you to be in the moment and physical such as boxing or Juijitsu. It will teach you to be present as there is no other option. Because you are such a cerebral person you likely need this to balance yourself out.
    I know we are just faceless avatars, but we love what you produce and most of the faceless horrors have an affection for you in a parasocial way.
    You do amazing work, please don't break yourself.
    Take care.

    Present moment awareness has been debunked. A Buddhist monk can sit there and watch a lion come along and chew off his leg because he is so present he doesn't feel it, he just sits and watches it happen as a witness. If he had a future goal he would get up and stop it from happening. You must think of the future for goal setting etc, you must think of the past for learning from mistakes, debts, family connections etc and you must think of the present to avoid lions chewing on your leg. So all three are necessary at different times.

    I'm absolutely with you on the past 3 weeks being in a state of total apathy. A casual astrological glance will reveal a series of lunar eclipses, which the ancients say in this conjunction are opportune times to lay rather low and allow for a deeper consolidation of one's energies. Smoke a pipe (or cigar), put your feet up, grab a cozy knit sweater and your favourite tie or cravat and watch the smoke dance the Dance of the Seven Veils as you luxuriate in your imagination. Couldn't be bothered to jump into the fray so soon---too much seriousness in the world. Even our sensuality has become so serious. Utterly exhausting.

    Basically that was what “Covid” and 2020 as a whole did to me as well. My mind has always been as you describe; never really in the moment, always thinking about something far distant or past, but during 2020 and now after I have realized one thing that was confirmed that year, but was always just a suspicion before: we are in Hell friends, we are in Hell. Humanity has shown its apathetic, banal, and hypocritical side on a scale that I believe is unrecoverable for the thinking man. So yes, I kind of do as well enjoy the silent solitude more than is probably healthy….. but I enjoy that more than I enjoy the alternative, which is society…… and Hell.

      A zombie hell. It's akin to a zombie movie, where a few seem to be immune and have to endure.
      This mind virus, spread through screens much like the method in the 1981 film Halloween, has turned the masses into ideological zombies.
      The tragedy of course is that once infected, they cannot be rehabilitated. They do not know they're infected, you cannot reach them because they're zombies. And they seek to infect others with their rabid fanaticism. And, like a zombie, they're after your brain.
      We are in the midst of the zombie apocalypse. Yet, as per the traditional script, after the dark night of the soul hope for the cure comes from within those rare few that seem immune to it....

    I feel very much the same as what you describe in the intro, I've spent the last almost 4 years watching in horror as events unfolded and swallowed us up. I can't help but follow everything that is going on especially the economic disaster unfolding and feel that if I stop watching even for a moment I could be caught out and ruined especially as I work in an industry highly sensitive to how the global economy is doing. The Ukraine conflict bothered me but I was sure it wouldn't get out of control but this Israel thing has really unnerved me. I feel like I'm watching the slow collapse of the West and our countries and things seem to be accelerating without pause. I spend almost all of my time in deep thought war gaming various situations in my head to see what possible rout out there is for our countries, I'm generally a positive person that up to now always though things would work out in the end but recently I've lost hope and started to believe that things will just keep getting worse for ever.

The older daughter was destroyed by a relationship with a crazy demented abusive narcissistic psychopath and trusts no-one so they’ll unlikely ever have kids. The younger might but she’s still a leftie they can’t stand their brother. Wish I knew 30 years ago what I know now, I was to busy running lives to give thought to instilling values.

    Dearest AA,
    I'm going to make an unusual - to some - suggestion. You need to embrace a physical regimen. This is not unknown on the DR and there are reason for it, I wont detail them here. Many do it better than I could. But I see in you a facet of myself that has benefitted from the same. As a materialist (to some degree) you may appreciate that the mind resides within the brain, and that within the body, and the world itself, and so on. If you dont think it matters, in all fairness, you should try it as an adult, and compare to how you feel now and where your head is at. There is a reason the DR often emphasizes it. I wont digress, but it is effective and that fully integrated mind-body state is the ideal norm for men.
    This is not about ones weight, appearance or any external, reflected considerations.
    This is about the full activation of the mind WITHIN the body.
    I love your content and encourage you to parse, and think and enlighten. But I also think you'd benefit from the real physical actualization of your ideas of discernment, truth and right action.
    Best wishes.
