I want to follow some self aware growth oriented nerdy hedonists.
Any suggestions?

If you don’t know him, checkout . Reading his post on improving opioids when I was like 25 made me want to cry
Had my first opioids at 12 and I freaked out and told the doctor why aren’t more people tweaking this to be safer and make everyone happy, he yelled at me

I feel like there’s this big weird joke going on where like obviously everyone should be happy / high well-being but like everyone pretends we shouldn’t work on it directly for some reason we should work on 50,000 other unrelated projects instead and hope they make us happy

And then people say you shouldn’t try to be happy, even though the happy outliers pretty much all tried to be happy then did things know to make you happy then it worked and they’re like yeah do that. But the not-super-happy are like yeah the way to be happy is to try not to be

i continue to think that you are completely wrong about happiness fwiw
wrong in goal (we shouldn’t aim to be happy), mechanism (not trying to be happy is the key to being happy), or both?

Do you think self-evaluation is trustworthy? I’ve been thinking about starting podcast where I recurse a few times through friends “who’s the person you know with the highest well-being” then come in no-priors just ask them to describe how they got there and what they feel now
