I’m not a boozehound or a junkie but I’m addicted to the worst drug of all: idleness.
This picture hits too close to home, ever since I was a kid I've been skating by, thinking I was “winning” by doing so.
I’ve internalized the “brilliant but lazy” and wagie ragie memes.
Now I’m addicted to cheap dopamine hits and even thinking about doing things that require effort gives me withdrawal symptoms.
There’s a reason Sloth is listed as one of the deadly sins, it’s a drug that will sap your willpower if you always go for the lowest effort option.
Truth is you have to put in the work, everyone that ever amounted to anything had to.
Napoleón, Einstein, Muhammad Ali, talent will only get you so far, everyone that ever succeeded at anything did so because they sucked it up and put in the work.

The only places it's dropping is because of lifestyle choices of the citizens. Does Marxism force people to exercise? No, so don't blame it on the economy asshole.

Why can't you study "literature" at university, including literature from languages other than your own? Right now I have two very limited degree options:

A. English literature - where you basically only read Dickens, Austen, Twain etc.

B. Modern languages - where you get to read some French or Russian or whatever, but not much, and only in their original language.

Why isn't there a course for literature in general, including translations?
