“The goal of their algorithm is to manipulate the human mind so that it feels and needs things that it needed or felt for itself. We can no longer follow the maxim of believing in ourselves, or listening to our hearts. We have to learn to be suspicious of our most intimate desires, because we don't know who or what has put them there.”

“En Las Vegas los casinos abren las veinticuatro horas. No tienen ventanas ni relojes; la luz es exactamente la misma sea cual sea la hora. Están diseñados para que no sepas si es de día o de noche, ni cuánto tiempo llevas allí. Como nos ocurre con la comida, no estamos evolutivamente preparados para gestionar la abundancia”

TIL otium vs negotium (latin)
Otium = leisure
Negotium = not-otium, busy-ness.
When money is involved, it’s not otium anymore, it becomes negotium (business)
In spanish makes more sense:
“ocio” tiempo libre
“negocio” (al contrario de ocio, significa ocuparse)
Your obsessions are a clue to your earliest vision of yourself, if only you had paid attention to them in the beginning.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.

a more readable way:
“You want all humans to be harmless, which might not be possible. Also, the ones who would benefit from avoiding harm are the ones likely to cause it, not the ones who wouldn't be affected even if it happened.”
“You are expressing a wish that the whole human race were inoffensive, which may hardly be; moreover, those who would gain by such wrongs not being done are those who would do them, not he who could not suffer from them even if they were done.”
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca, On The Firmness Of The Wise Man, IV (translated by Aubrey Stewart, 1900)
