I’m playing a video game lately that allows you to stop time, and I keep thinking, the first thing I’d do is relax. Downtime (time where you’re forced to be unproductive) and downtime (time where you’re fine but have no need to be productive) are two very different things.

It really comes down to freedom. Its great to be able to do whatever you want but having the time to but not be capable of doing what you want just is a new type of lack of freedom.

Arguably. The worst part about that is that you don’t get to know how that story ends…

In the show The Good Place when Eleanor said something like heaven is just having the time to spend with your loved ones. It hit hard.

When I die I want it to be quick, but with a good ten seconds warning. That way I have a chance to enjoy not having any responsibilities or deadlines at least for a bit.

I always think if I became a vampire the best thing would be laying down for a nice thousand year torpor.

Ok but the back issues after laying down that long would be insane.
