"Those taking semaglutide are showing less desire not just for for food, but smoking, drinking, sex and porn wants are substantially depressed in some form or another. The significance here is that for the first time we're understanding how to control pleasure
centers in the brain. This is pretty huge."

There’s a theory in psychology called depressive realism which says depressed people have a more accurate view of the world because they’re more realistic about how risky and fragile life is. It’s the opposite of “blissfully unaware.”

“If I am I, because you are you, and you are you, because I am I, then I am not I, and you are not you.
But if I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you, and we can talk.”
― Menachem Mendel of Kotzk
Kundera: I learned the value of humor during the time of Stalinist terror. I was twenty then. I could always recognize a person who was not a Stalinist, a person whom I needn’t fear, by the way he smiled. A sense of humor was a trustworthy sign of recognition. Ever since, I have been terrified by a world that is losing its sense of humor.
Excerpt from: "Shop Talk: A Writer and His Colleagues and Their Work" by Philip Roth.

It doesn’t even promise a compliment. What’s rewarded in the world is scarcity, so what matters is what you can do that other people are bad at.
