I don't care too much about happiness. Denying it from my life is stupid, but if it isn't there for me, I'll just focus on my projects, or my health, or simply being with people, or even simply being.
I don't really believe in mental health as being the explanation for the problems in people's lives. There are certainly problems related to one’s mind in some cases, but I think most of the problems labelled as “mental health” have more to do with: lacking a sense of belonging, an unhealthy environment—which includes school and work as the biggest culprits—trying to control one’s emotions instead of working with them, being disembodied, not knowing how to exert agency, and an excess of distractions from what matters—in a sense some people have problems because they’ve never had real problems.
I don't believe in "we", I don't believe in "should". I don't believe in a "global village", and I don't believe in collective solutions. I don’t think “we should” do anything because I do not even believe that large-scale collectives can do anything right in the current landscape of collectives.
I do not believe all paths lead to the same mountain. I also do not believe the only landscape in life is a mountain up to some peak, because life holds beautiful fields, creaks, beaches and forest. It is not always about “better”, sometimes it is simply different. Moreover, the quest of finding truth and “who I am” is heavily tainted by the individualism of the West, it is in no way some universal ideal to aspire to.
I think it is good to embrace being a villain, to some degree. This doesn't mean being a monster, those two things are different for me, it's more about an attitude to the world and yourself. Villains have a ton of agency, and they don't back down from doing what they believe in even if no one is with them. In other words, they do not desperately settle for being nice if that means compromising on what they believe in.
I do not care too much about understanding most people. A lot of writers for instance look at phones and keep bringing points about why they're problematic, but they always assume that you “have” to keep them for some reason, but simply become better at dealing with them. Personally I would rather ditch them altogether, which I have done. I don't care if most people have one, I am not most people, and I don't care about being most people.
