In this second segment with Matt Vincent, we're going to dive into what it means to live a rich life and one that when you look back in your final days that you're proud of.

What does it mean to be a good man? And more importantly, how do you influence people to be the best version of themselves? The Stoics warned that comfort weakens. Do you think that modern life has made us comfortable? And what does the ad actually do to our sense of purpose? I mean, we kind of covered that. We did cover it. I mean, just a quick one on that. Like, yeah, modern life has definitely gotten so comfortable that it has made us weaker.

And again, that's where I go back to that like one of the biggest problems we're trying

to solve is actually having abundance.

And it seems that for a really long time, there's a certain amount of physical effort that

it was required every day of us just maintaining being alive.

Now that that's not there, fucking A, you don't have to go grow crops today and hunt an animal to get exercise as a side effect.

But it does seem that your body from a physical biological standpoint needs X amount of

movement and being out in the sun and doing a thing

and being quiet and being bored occasionally.

Yeah.

And so we have to choose it.

Dude, that's one I talk to my kids about all the time that they're never bored.

That's one of the issues we have with shut anxiety is because like look at how much practice we've gotten with multitasking of taking an information from multiple sources at one time.

Without boredom, you don't have creativity.

Bingo.

But boredom and scarcity create fear and trap and dissociation.

So they distract. So the ADHD is a distraction because of that system being fired up so that when I'm still, I can't distract from it.
