It's actually better if you don't see anybody the whole day, as a matter of fact.

Now, if you're going to date, make sure that it's swipe right, swipe left, and so that you're only getting a two-dimensional understanding of the person that you might want to fall in love with as well.

Like no multi-dimensional, multi-sensory understanding of who the person is.

Make sure you can't smell that person, right?

I mean, that's really important because...

you know the olfactory bulb does all kinds of meaning related things in the brain so make sure you rule that out right um and make sure that on your own dating profile you're lying a lot that's important too right then uh let's make sure that that for fun that you're spending sort of the evening not doing anything of

of real importance.

I mean, you're not working on a big project.

You're not going out and seeing people that you're kind of staying in and scrolling, uh, and, and watching YouTube shorts.

And, uh, and if you're doing something that's kind of competitive and achievement oriented, make sure that this gaming, make sure that it, you know, it's really oriented toward that.

So it's kind of writing your life and disappearing ink.

Um, and, and then go to bed, make sure you didn't do any exercise important not to do any exercise at all.

Right.

And, um, and then repeat,

times or n equals any number that you can conceive of so that that you're never bored you're never bored but your life is grindingly boring see here's the key if you want your life to have no meaning make sure that there's no boredom moment to moment but that day to day and week to week and month to month life is boring

That's what you're actually going for.

As opposed, if you want your life to be really meaningful, make sure you got plenty of boredom moment to moment, and then your life won't be boring at all.

It is.

I mean, my great-grandfather, Leroy Brooks, he was born in Olathe, Kansas.

He married the sheriff's daughter.
