  • Even 1% daily progress beats staying stuck. Extra steps still move you forward.

  • This is such a grounded take, honestly. It cuts through all the noise that tells people they have to optimize their entire existence or they’ve failed. That pressure alone is enough to paralyze anyone before they even start. I really agree with what you’re saying about dopamine and productivity culture we’re being pulled in two opposite directions at once. “Go all in or you’re wasting time,” but also “here, consume this endless stream of distractions.” No wonder people feel stuck and exhausted. That’s not laziness; that’s overload. Starting something as a hobby, with no scoreboard attached, is underrated wisdom. Meaning comes before momentum, not the other way around. When something is allowed to be light and curious, it has room to grow. When it’s forced to immediately justify itself as a career, it usually dies. And that line about ambition being a blessing, not a curse that’s important. A lot of people don’t even know what direction pulls at them. Knowing is half the battle. Following it gently instead of violently might actually be the healthiest way forward. This feels less like advice and more like permission. Permission to move at a human pace, to protect your sanity, and to let joy lead instead of fear. And yeah paths taken that way usually do lead somewhere beautiful.

  • You're right

  • Oh I'm sorry 😔

  • The people we admire the most are often the ones already living in our minds so that’s a really nice choice.

  • I’d imagine the cleanest version is bringing them back at peak physical health, but with all the knowledge and memories they had at the moment they died. Otherwise it feels less like revival and more like cloning or time travel. As for how long they stay, I think it only works if it’s permanent and they know it. A secret time limit or hidden rules would be cruel, and it would completely change how they behave. I also don’t love the idea of them having clear knowledge of an afterlife. If they knew for sure what comes next, it would distort everything they say and do here suddenly every opinion becomes gospel. I’d keep it semi-public: governments and scientists know, but not a spectacle. Turning it into a public project would reduce the person to a symbol instead of letting them just be human again. Language-wise, I’d assume they keep what they knew, but gain the ability to communicate otherwise you’re reviving someone just to trap them in isolation. Basically, the more normal the revival is, the more ethical it feels. The moment it turns into a gimmick or experiment, it stops being about bringing someone back and starts being about using them.

  • That’s a really respectful way to look at it. Robin Williams brought so much light, but you’re right reviving someone without considering their own struggles feels complicated. George Carlin makes a lot of sense though; his kind of blunt, fearless satire feels especially missing right now. And James Randi too skepticism and critical thinking could really use a strong voice these days.

  • That actually says a lot about how much someone can mean to you while they’re still here. I get the logic, but at the same time I think part of the point would be giving closure to something already lost. Still, holding onto it for someone you care about feels very human.

  • Wow

  • I can see that. The architecture is impressive, but if the food doesn’t leave an impression and the overall vibe with people feels off, it’s hard to really connect with the place. When you’ve seen other parts of Europe that get all three right, it just doesn’t stand out as much.

  • Honestly, that’s kind of iconic. At some point you stop fighting it and just accept the wizard robe lifestyle. Laundry can wait, the vibe cannot.

    What's a song that isn't very well-known but is the best for you?

    lazy ambitious. the worst kind of stuck.

  • Honestly, Rome’s unification caused more harm than good. Imperialism screwed over countless people, and a lot of the “problems” people blame on early Christianity are really just Roman cultural baggage.

  • Haha 😆, fair. Not here to just nod along like some prompt copying bot opinions are real, and so is the vibe.

  • Yeah, some arrogance really knows no limits.

  • Yeah, just a matter of time before we’d surface again

  • Truly the timeline where humanity proves it can solve even its greatest conflicts peacefully even with emus.

  • That loss is mind-blowing to think about. If those ideas had survived and been built on, math and science could’ve jumped ahead centuries calculus arriving that early would’ve completely reshaped how we understand the universe.

  • Yeah, the infamous “I didn’t inhale” era hard to imagine that even being controversial today.

  • Same here the Bronze Age collapse feels like one of those massive reset points. It’s wild to imagine how far civilization might’ve advanced if that momentum hadn’t been lost.

    If you could erase one event from human history, what would it be and why?
