If you don’t solve interesting problems, boring problems will solve you. When a boring problem solves you, you turn into a walking cliche. Not a bad outcome. The consolation of a cliche existence is that is sustainable.

I feel bad for poor people because genuine poverty seems like a truly hard boring problem. I don’t think I’d be able to solve it. Being born middle class and never really dipping below the line into true poverty is like being born a tachyon already moving faster than light.

It’s genuinely depressing how much of “success culture” rests on formulas for commoditizing fellow humans in some way. I would like to brood over this over dilemma a fine scotch in the oak-paneled library of my future mansion.
