motivation?

Give your TV / Laptop / Phone to your father for a day or two, or other family member. Or at least don’t recharge your monthly internet contract for a day or two after it reaches its time of the month.

Like, the point is, I will try to say it precisely: these electronics are eroding away the willpower threshold that you need to have accumulated in order to perform tasks that require willpower. This seems to me to be the problem with making life easier, for psychologically it gets harder for people to get things done. And this seems to be the reason why it gets hard to do even basic tasks, for the constant satisfaction of your willpower (in the form of entertainment) erodes even the pleasure of just being, reducing it to literally monotonous pain.

Paradoxically, by avoiding the pains of life through immersion in gratification, doesn’t make life less painful; all the contrary, it tames us, eroding our resistance to pain, through an overstimulation of pleasure.

I’ll say something big:

As society stands right now, widely believing that the highest possible pursuit in life is pleasure; then injecting vast quantities of dopamine straight into the brain of every human being, would seem like the most desirable way of life for every human. HOWEVER, such a being would acquire such an incredibly high tolerance of dopamine, that I guess for it even breathing would feel tiring and monotonous!!!
