It did wonders for my mental health. This might be a psychological quirk of mine but I find it so much more satisfying that we all go together with a bang rather than by slow decay and mediocrity. It satisfies my need for drama and heroism. I suppose that’s part of why doomsday cults have been so popular through the ages.
I attended my high school reunion recently. So many people worrying about things that didn’t matter, living without purpose, living in the past etc.
I used to worry about death by old age, slow decay, meaningless etc. I do a lot less of that now. I don’t think AI timelines were the primary catalyst of that—age & wisdom surely count too- but all-in-all it has made more motivated, more sure of myself and my path, less pre-occupied with little things that don’t matter.
