You're describing retirement. And, boy have I spent a LOT of time thinking about what that looks like.

A lot of people have lists of things they'd do, see, learn, or be. I had one too, but it kept fucking changing depending on where I was in life and what my interests were.

Any list I had always felt restrictive. Here's where I ended up instead...

I would put my energy and attention only on the things that I want to put them on at any given time.

I guess some call that living in the moment, but I call it retirement.

For some reason, I thought it was codified in...I'm not based in the US so I could very well be off about that. I guess it's too far along in the takeover for there to be any kind of practical resistance to any of this part

Did I miss something that walked back the whole 'separation of church and state' thing?? There's been so much shit flying around lately, and so many flies buzzing around carrying that shit...

Not just you! But it wasn't until I saw a quote from John Wayne that it registered for me...

If I was a Five Eyes nation, I'd be looking long and hard at reducing head count...or at least changing the name to "Four Eyes and an Asshole"

...had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.
