Commute, talking to people, food, et cetera.

There's a cost of life.

Just living and sustaining and homeostasis and just maintaining yourself as a human is very high.

Yeah, just like whenever I get obsessed about a problem, something just needs to work.

Something just needs to exist.

Yeah, it needs to exist.

And then I think to me also a big factor is, you know, are other humans are going to appreciate it?

Are they going to like it?

That's a big part of my motivation.

If I'm helping humans and they seem happy, they say nice things, they tweet about it or whatever, that gives me pleasure because I'm doing something useful.

Yeah, I was thinking about it.

Suppose I did all these things but did not share them, I don't think I would have the same amount of motivation that I can build up.

Yeah, I still fast, but I do intermittent fasting.

But really what it means at the end of the day is I skip breakfast.

So I do 18-6 roughly by default when I'm in my steady state.

If I'm traveling or doing something else, I will break the rules.

But in my steady state, I do 18-6.

So I eat only from 12 to 6.

Not a hard rule and I break it often, but that's my default.

Okay.
