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.
