Technoking Elon says Nietzsche was poor medicine for his teenage existential crisis. Yet from The Gaya Scienza onward, Nietzsche seems less a prophet of despair than a burning, dancing will: one that affirms life, demolishes fictions, and clears the ground for new monuments.

@Breedlove22 Eugenics is fine though, as long as it's not implemented by an authoritarian régime.

@thedulab Fantasizing about the outcome changes nothing. Rehearsing the process changes everything.

What breaks the vicious circle is not more choice, but an unbending constraint. An instrument that removes every false refuge, until nothing remains between the builder and the task he dreads. That is the premise of the app I am shipping this week. More tomorrow.

The solitary mind, left entirely to its own devices, will always negotiate downward. You cannot cure this with an elaborate planner. To give a solitary builder more flexibility only fuels the slow burn of procrastination.

Nothing resembles work so closely as evasion. The solo builder rarely sits idle, hands folded. Instead, he grinds furiously at tasks that carry no risk of failure, exhausting his day on trivia whose sole virtue is that it decides nothing.

Most tools attempt to organize the work. What the solo-builder requires is a constraint against himself. I have spent the last months building a small instrument around that single necessity. Shipping it in a few days...

Procrastination in an indie builder is mostly an evasion of verdict rather than a defect of time.

The wage-earner postpones his labor out of fatigue, the solo builder postpones his out of dread. He fears less the exertion of work than the exposure of having finished it.

Procrastination is a failure to make the future emotionally present. If you are unable to emotionally charge your visualizations, they will remain ineffective.
