    2020 has been my slowest off the blocks due to a 🤧 but also the environment. Like how do you even operate in this muck? If you’re not depressed by the state of the world, you’re probably psychotic, bunker-level rich, or a made mook to an autocrat or warlord. Or all 3 why not.

        Yup, only a very insane person would not feel depressed right now. It’s the healthiest possible reaction. Don’t fight it.

        I do feel like chaos = opportunity, but I suppose in this frame that makes me psychotic

        Every other person I know got 🤧 start of this decade, including me. Hasn't stopped my momentum. You realize despite the internet of beefs in full swing this is the most incredible time in human history to be alive and be where you are?

        Figurative depression, somewhere between frustrated and flabbergasted. Many suffer from actual clinical depression which is nothing to joke about. Above all, the situation demands resolve and resistence to caving under the nonsense.

        I am surprised you get depressed? I am kind of the opposite, what's wrong about the world?

        I tapped out in November. Deep sixed an Alt with a biz and its art. Just couldn't summon the energy to wage the war its tribe wanted. At world scale, I am at "I dunno, man, Im gonna take a nap."
