@QiaochuYuan You know how Andy Clark says “thinking is acting (mentally), acting is thinking (embodied)? (i.e., thinking involves mentally simulating actions, acting follows from holding thoughts of actions)

@QiaochuYuan There needs to be equivalent like: Acting is wanting. Wanting is acting. Acting is the mere consequence of holding a want in mind. Wanting exists only in service of prompting action. If you don’t project there being an action that would help, you don’t want.

@QiaochuYuan Where I’m going with this: reaju are defined by continuing to exist in normie-land and not taking actions to make things different. They might me miserable and dissatisfied af. But there’s not an action to radically reshift their life that occurs to them as worth taking.

@QiaochuYuan Conversely, a seeker-hippie is defined by taking actions to reshift their normie life. They might be very satisfied with life at any given moment, yet the want to change exists, and the action follows. Decoupling satisfaction and wanting.

@QiaochuYuan . . . this thread didn't turn out nearly as exciting as I thought it would.
