An awful fate you can suffer is becoming fundamentally bored with yourself. If hell is other people, that makes you a hell of 1. To prevent this, it's good to not become too self-aware. If you feel you're going that route, immediately stop introspecting and pick a beef instead.

If you become more than 70% self-aware, then you'll have to go take on some stupid personal challenges, fail, and accumulate more self-ignorance to bring self-awareness back down to manageable levels. And that's always a major chore. And if you fail to fail, that's even more work

In completely unrelated news, I wonder why nobody has ever offered to hire me as a life coach or motivational speaker. It's a mystery given how enlightened and insightful I am 🤔.
