I literally don’t get affected by 99% of the things in the world simply because I have designed a careful bubble to live in. I allow a constant small stream of adversarial inputs through meeting a lot of people, traveling, and platforms like X. Then, I expand my bubble for a bit, adding new people and things around me. After a couple of months, I filter out everything again and shrink the bubble, only keeping the things that feel effective to me.
If I didn’t do that, I’d probably hate everything, but instead, I have a very (pragmatically) nice view of the world and people, mostly because my world is composed of cool and exciting things, and I’m surrounded by cool and kind people. And I hold 0 interest in anything outside of that, so it doesn’t affect me. People worry about tons of things that I literally never even conceptualize.
It’s freeing, really.
