      "the obstacle is the way" or "the obstacle is the fuel" feels hustle-porny-masochistic w/o realizing that it's not about finding a path through the mountains (b/c climbing the scariest mountain to get *through* the mountains seems dumb) but about oasis' chains through a desert

      the "obstacle" is like a treat you give a dog to keep it from chewing and destroying everything out of sheer meaninglessness. it's intended to be "something to chew on for a long time" if the chew is too hard, the puppy might break its teeth. too soft, and it's just food

          artificial obstacles are like treat filled frozen kongs in school. the difficulty can be tailored to the puppy/dog and over time it gets easier as it melts reality only gives bones. they can be too hard. they can splinter. they can be rotten.

          each obstacle is like the next link in a lifeline. the point is not to reach a grand goal but to pull yourself forwards in time instead of being forcibly pushed the path traversed is still "fate" but you're now facing forwards instead of backwards

          jordan peterson's 'clean your room' idea is about finding the NEXT obstacle, not THE obstacle. or to research obstacles, or to collect them, etc... at every given moment there is sth u can do to actively pull yourself to face forwards in timehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1328968602784047109?s=20 …

          to reconcile this with "acceptance" think about the dog that actively tries to find sth to chew. it can up trying to chew an infinite-plane-equivalent(floor or wall) it's an impossible task that just annoys the higher level beings

          the dog equivalent of building a monastery and earning the divine "good boi pats" is not "look i chewed the whole house!!" but more "i chewed the toy, brought you the sock, AND went into my crate myself"
