If that’s what you want who am I to deny 🤷

But other people want to do other things, I don’t see an issue with this if people willingly chose to do it. But I feel like it would become the “norm” and become a necessity in the workplace. Sort of like working holidays or working overtime etc. no one wants to do it, but we have to.

Or using caffeine

I will say that if you give up caffeine, you will realize how little you actually need it to remain awake in the morning. There are plenty of alternatives, your body and brain are just essentially addicted to the caffeine, making you feel like you can’t function without it. Giving up stuff with high caffeine was one of the best things I ever did, I still eat chocolate but outside of that no energy drinks or soda or anything.

Word! Yeah I've gone back and forth on it a couple times. The thing that is of concern/interest I think is the culture that normalizes uppers like caffeine or even Adderall to either keep up with inflexible systems/schedules or to cram in extra activities. Its not necessary but easy to become dependent on substances to supplement our bodies to fit a fast paced environment that doesn't really cater to a lot of our needs.

Life can always be/become worse. Thete is no bottom.

Mathematically: Given x>0, you han make it 2 times smaller any number of times and it would still be >0. Life can be 2x worse than your current life.
