This is one of the most toxic lines imaginable, in a book that has sold many millions of copies. You should not give up the desire to be a saint, for instance, simply because you don't desire "the process" by which it takes to become one. Nobody does. There are many things that are worth desiring that we don't want to do what it takes to achieve, but that doesn't mean that we stop desiring; on the contrary, it's all the more reason to keep desiring them until we finally do what it takes. The desire is the very thing that breaks through our unwillingness, and might one day allow grace to break in.

Question in good faith: is this mostly restricted to physical stuff, like arriving somewhere on time? Or does this sort of severe and chronic executive dysfunction apply to things like virtual work meetings? You may need to just resign yourself to remote jobs.

The culture is in decline. For gen x, a hidden recess in your workplace led to the inside of John Malkovitch's head. For gen z, it's just a series of empty spaces and some furniture
This is just downstream of community. The village has an appointed spiritual guide of whatever sort. Everyone else is expected to listen and absorb his wisdom. Now there is no village, and no wise man, and everyone listens to The Algorithm. Hopeless, unfortunately.
The extent to which the USA culturally maps 1:1 onto the late Roman Empire, in all its decadence and excess and spectacle, is nowhere more apparent than in its stadiums, where dozens of Coliseums host modern gladiatorial combat on a weekly basis.
The funniest thing about this World Cup is that people are somehow shocked that country as rich as USA built some good stadiums for it and they pretend its some kind of a miracle.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These are existing NFL stadiums that were not built for the World Cup. They have undergone modifications to meet FIFA requirements for the 2026 tournament.

Setting aside the particular target of theism here, gut feelings are orders of magnitude more valuable than any amount of reason. The Enlightenment was pure reddit cringe. Retvrn to the enchanted world.
Crossed 20k words on my novel draft this morning. May not seem like much, but I’ve written the bulk of that in the last 6 months, amid a whole host of time- and energy-consuming life events. If I can hit 50k by the end of the year, I’ll feel really good.
