Thu, 11 Feb 2021 19:37:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Simon https://www.ryrob.com/indistractable-nir-eyal/comment-page-1/#comment-91407 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:54:32 +0000 https://www.ryrob.com/?p=7851#comment-91407 There was this philosopher (I think Wittgenstein, but I’m not sure) who was convinced, that most of our personal, interpersonal, political, basically all sorts of problems are due a misunderstanding and an inexact use of words. If we were rigorously to communicate with only the exact meaning of words, most of the problems would just vanish, leaving only true/real problems to solve. Thus, the vague use of words creates pseudo-problem, that actually don’t exist.

Anyways, very interesting interview. The reason I don’t use a calendar is because every day would be filled with “get rich and buy yourself free from the salary slavery” but since I still haven’t figured it out after two decades, it would be kinda meaningless, thus everything becomes a distraction, because there’s no solution I could focus on and create traction from it.
