Scarcity is usually understood as limits on the availability of a specific thing, but is better understood as the absence of some vector of abundance. It doesn’t matter what you have less of than you’d like, so long as you have an effectively infinite supply of one thing.

It’s not just me. I think people lacking a brrrr are kinda beyond all help from others and are the loneliest people in the world. Because brrrr is how we appear in the world as individuals and connect with others. Without brrr you can’t be seen, no matter how hard you try.

I have seen one thing kinda-sorta work though. If you build walls around yourself, like tribal ingroup ot whatever, you can get a sort of ersatz brrrr going. It’s like locking out the infinite expanse of the universe so you inhabit only a finite subset unlocks inner infinitude.

That wall though has to be kinda absolute, conceptually and in practice, like an event horizon. You really do have to irreversibly shout out all but a whitelisted part of reality. If it breaks in, you must resist and turn it back like it’s the forces of hell.

Haven’t yet worked out the mechanism. And anyway it doesn’t work well. It keeps breaking down. The walled-in pseudo-brrr is not robust. So the bad9c problem remains unsolved. This is more palliative than solution. But it’s better than displacement into inexhaustible hungers.

This whole phenomenon makes me sad. Wish there was a way to reliably teach the discovery of inner abundance. I don’t think there is. It’s a lemon market of pretenders.

Takes a certain kind of therapist I think, b/c way to brrr is sometimes /into/ that existential shit. Must at least be sat with deep enough to realize what it isn't (lack of X). Why those who never were normie enough to fool themselves often end up better adjusted in midlife...
