Dieting by portion control doesn't work because one is constantly fighting addictive drives.
Most weight loss diets center around portion control, which is just trying to eat smaller amounts of the same addictive foods. This approach inevitably fails.
It doesnt matter who is playing or how old they are. I just worry about what I can control. It doesnt give me more or less motivation.
Technology isn't simply addictive - it's addictive because it's a servant to business incentives. There are huge departments in these companies that are devoted to this and staffed by incredibly talented people who have skills that could be put to socially beneficial projects but who are now trying to find out how to make you click and how to maximize your time on a certain site, or encourage teenagers to "friend" more products and constantly engage with them.

I never trust a fighting man who doesnt smoke or drink.
It's very frustrating [ to work under director's control], not just because you're getting rejected constantly, but also because you're at a time in your life where you have an enormous amount of creative energy, and there's no way to express it.

Dont confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible doesnt mean it communicates and, more importantly, doesnt mean it communicates the right thing.
Dieting fooled you into thinking you could control your life.
That grit of fighting is addictive, I'm scared of it. It's a very weird thing.
Ive learned from dieting and not dieting that literally the thing that works best for me is that if I think of it, I better go ahead and have it.
The Diet Mentality has come about because there is agreement in our society that the only way to lose weight is by dieting. But dieting produces absolutely no permanent, positive results. In fact, it makes you feel worse about yourself and probably does more damage than good to your health.
I realized that work doesnt beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.
the one who doesnt play, doesnt win anything, but he actually looses somehting, {playing}
