objective/intersubjective accomplishments like the size of the rectangle you can afford to sleep in, how smooth your cat is, how big your sky chair is and whether your get your sky meal in glass or plastic aren’t hugely correlated with the quality of the subjective experience of your life yet for some reason we like to think it’s perfectly correlated. though we ultimately want the latter, as a culture, we take the former as a strong proxy and aim all of our time at it this feels to me like the ultimate delusion young people get trapped in
