Yes, for me it also got far slower than I remember any previous version ever being.
And this is not only thinking for me. I think that today was first time I cought up to generated tokens while reading after I left opened tab for quite a long time to finish infetence.
That's a great idea. I would love to be able to do that. If only I was not forced to live in the most expensive part of my country where one square meter costs more than half year salary of average person. At least from accounting point of view I'm a millionair, just without any ability to get my own space (because needs of family always come first). Life is strange.
>> The most meaningful things in my life revolve around my significant other and family.
Im happy that this works for You but Im not sure that this is universally good way out of existancial dredd.
I would rather prefer people founding meaning first in themselves and their existance and only then add others to this equesion. Otherwise there is a risk of getting a lot of depressed people that play pretend together (speaking from experience unfortunately)
Belief can be fragile too and can easily be lost. I am not very spiritual or religious myself but from what I observe with religious parts of my family and friends there is really nothing resilient about their beliefes - they need constant refreshing and practice otherwise doubt quickly creeps in (and there is a lot of ways doubt can come in - most of religious beliefs and rituals is selfserving and does not go well with critical thinking)
Unfortunately all children are not created equals and some will crave sugar som much that Your method would fail miserably. I see this in children of my neighbours. Mine are almost same as Yours (especially older one) - they like sweets, but often they will leave them laying around not touching them for days. But if You do this with children of my neighbours they will behave like little addicts and they are like this since when they were like 3.
I think this works a bit like with drugs or somkes - some people just do not have addictive personality and it seems like they are born this way (maby its some chemistry in their brains working better or sth).
Oh that's a word I haven't heard in a while. And I know it mainly thanks to Monty Python great sketch:
