Priorities
Things that are worth doing well are, at first, worth doing poorly.
- don’t just go something, stand there.
- if it’s important, you want to do it well or correctly, to give it the best effort it can receive, not just your best, but the best.
Anything that’s worth doing well is worth doing poorly. At least then it’s done at all.

Don’t see time and life as separate things. See time as units of life.
Peace of mind premium - the additional price you pay to live on your own or at least away from problematic people
- This can be quite expensive
Writing
Aphorisnts - essays motivated by or exploring the truth of an aphorism or its meaning.
More details leave less room for the imagination to fill in, few er gaps. Enjoy the tails. Don’t recklessly de-tail.
That / who, philosophy being abstract enough that everything is a that.

Really long, winding videos of me talking. They suck for just about everyone. And I can’t even summarize them fully with AI because they’re too long.
Cutoff length for chatgpt summarization? Depends on word per minute? They likely extract a video ‘s transcript and summarize from there.

Gpodder web service, seems to be mostly Python! I wonder if people could selfhost it. All I’d need it to do is sync listen states and favorite lists across clients, not store media. https://github.com/gpodder/mygpo

Pico.sh
Possibly like a virtual co-working space, that sort of atmosphere
Health info
Conspiracy angle of many nutrition things is likely addressing the question of “why isn’t a plant based diet mainstream? Why isn’t it better known or more pervasive?” But I’m not interested in that. Disentangle the narrative from what I need to do.

Fun Ideas
Human beyblade battle. Hula hoops. First one to drop their hoop(s) wins.
Do you know why I pulled you over? Yes. (Cuts to shot of both of them leaning over the camera and yelling yeah-yeah, egging something on) Camera cuts to video of beyblade battle, with both characters slightly visible on sides of camera.

Drunk simulator - it’d be fun to expose to the player the RNG probability distributions we sample from (whenever a roll/sample occurs) and show how certain actions would shift the distributions.
Socially optimal/ideal repugnant persons — contraexamples, who not to be, and have them embody all the social improprieties so that those improprieties are seen as repugnant due to their being done by the repugnant persons.
Idea: a timer that rewards you with more time. For chillin. To encoHOurage more chillin. Max amount of time available, but minimum allocation. Can bleed into the maximum. If you check your phone a lot, it sticks to the timer.
