Duality is overexposed fragmentary ego moulding put on hold old people are children and no longer revered everyone wants to be 24 supramundane Christian afterlife outcome-utilitarian-achievement structure dissipating into waves of bad conscience in a flurry of instagram islands weakness and over-reliance culminating thus: a great midday sun of possibilities of endlessly looping phantasmic fields of impotent aletheia burning your creative energy and glazing your eyes into a thin yellow glass of loathing and decay. I know your future and it's not a hero's journey, you're a tragedian shaking your inner dog and niggardly naturalizing conscious follies, an unchanged narrative structure at the back of your head you assume is powered by the feeble cognitive memory necessitating structures in 2 to 3 bits per circle.

Lets talk about being "well-adjusted".

The word “adjusting” seems to me to mean moving outside of my habitual processes of thought, words, and actions that I am likely to go through in a day; considering and attempting to understand through method of feeling, more so than rationalizing by my own sense of judgement, external perspectives, ways of living, ways of thinking, etc.; and corresponding or “appropriating” the awareness those feelings produced onto how I think about myself, or my idea of self-identity, that the idea of being well-adjusted applies.

I think this is the most important thing to think about in my life. Anyone have any reading I would enjoy? What do you think?

As a being, Da-sein always defines itself in terms of a possibility which it is and somehow understands in its being. That is the formal meaning of the constitution of the existence of Da-sein. But for the ontological interpretation of this being, this means that the problematic of its being is to be developed out of the existentiality of its existence. However, this cannot mean that Da-sein is to be construed in terms of a concrete possible idea of existence. At the beginning of the analysis, Da-sein is precisely not to be interpreted in the differentiation of a particular existence; rather, to be uncovered in the indifferent way in which it is initially and for the most part. This indiference of the everydayness of Da-sein is not nothing; but rather, a positive phenomenal characteristic. All existing is how it is out of this kind of being, and back into it. We call this everyday indifference of Da-sein averageness. But the average everydayness of Da-sein must not be understood as a mere "aspect". In it, too, and even in the mode of inauthenticity, the structure of existentiality lies a priori. In it, too, Da-sein is concerned with a particular mode of its being to which it is related in the way of average everydayness, if only in the way of fleeing from it and of forgetting it.
