From https://thadcardine.substack.com/p/how-to-make-hard-decisions-when-nothing # 1. Name the fear I am afraid that if I go with SC I am going to end up overwhelmed, outgunned, burnt out, and without anything to show for it. I am afraid that I will be further enslaving myself to technology. I am afraid that I will not be learning about biology like I ought to. ---- I am afraid that if I go all-in on livestock farming I will be overwhelmed, outgunned, BROKE. I am afraid that I will be ignoring my real calling to make better techne. I am afraid I will be stuck in Illinois or wherever, needlessly. I... have a hard time envisioning this road, actually. # 2. Name the desire I am after the chance to live without half-assing things; to live with integrity. I want to make our world more harmonious. I want to stop acting like everything is a nail. # 3. Sit in the stillness.
