Self, help!
"Hack your brain! Smack your brain! Fuck your brain and then shoot it into the sun!"It is a Sunday afternoon and I am browsing YouTube. With every scrolling movement of my finger precious seconds of my weekend are trickling away. The algorithm smells my fear and throws self help videos at me. I am a sad-sad man having daydreams about a hobby, a side hustle, a project, a career change. "10 tips to built habits through screaming at pigeons in the park"I yield, I click on one of the video. It is not even some grifter trying to sell you vitamins or some 500 dollar course about planking and slopcoins. It is a generally nice person trying to give you legit life advice. To help you. I watch the video and I try to synthesize the information. Each one of my brain cells are fuming from concentration. You will think I am being sarcastic here, but I am not. This is an accurate description of a real event. The video is over. I like and subscribe out of sheer gratitude. Thank you, YouTube man!…
