interesting observations

"the choices we make to shape our surroundings are not random even when we are not consciously attempting to shape them. We are in fact adapting to meet a need, even when we don't know what that need is. And if this guy wants to play video games and talk smack with his friend a few days a week instead of spending that time with his wife, or grinding at his fabulous career, he must figure out what need he is meeting by making that choice, because if he quits seeing his friend without finding an alternative way to meet that need, he will fail to thrive in whatever thing he replaces it with, or he will re-shape some other part of his life and make no progress overall. The point is, it's not necessarily the friend that is the crucial element here."

"you can spend time pursuing a goal that is important to an iteration of yourself that, by the time you meet that goal, no longer exists"
