Picturing the world with better designed systems of politics/infrastructure/writing/belief etc.

If you can get past all the crazy shit going on in the world, there are a lot of incredibly talented, generous people out there sharing what they do and what they know with the rest of us puny mortals.

I try to drink from their example and surround myself with their positivity (or hate their guts for being so damn good, depending if I had my morning coffee or not).

Beautiful scenery and music

Well-made story

Hard workout while listening to metal

Seeing people flowing in any activity. Musicians, artist, scientist, mechanics, just seeing someone showing passion.

Discovering how this work and what last to the aurekav moments.

Seeing actual progressive change that benefits all of humanity and/or the planet

Art, beauty, and pleasure, and the desire to see more of that in earnest in a world that seeks to convert anything and everything into profit; The beauty and humbling significance of nature in its indifferent power, and the grand scope of the endless nothingness that stretches beyond what our eyes will ever hope to see; People, real and true, speaking against cruelty and injustice, seeking to better spread love instead of otherness, to show a less conditional love than that of any state or religion

Photography. My skills with a camera keep me going when I otherwise feel like interaction won’t get me anywhere in terms of day-to-day quality.

A shiny, gold shovel.

DRUGS!!!
