  1. Efficiency / optimization-based — minimizes steps, objects live in use-position, flow over form. Fork stays in the drying rack permanently because you use it three times a day. Shower curtain left open by default because that's the access position. Aesthetic / harmony-based — nervous system regulates off visual order, out-of-place objects register as alarm. Throw pillows rearranged on the couch every morning even though they'll be moved again. Can't start working until the desk is cleared, even if the clutter is unrelated to the work. Hygiene / contamination-based — organized around clean/dirty boundaries, shoes off, categories kept separate. Separate cutting boards for raw meat, vegetables, and bread, never cross-used. Outside clothes never touch the bed, change immediately on arriving home. Ritual / routine-based — regulated by sequence and timing, same order every day, disruption to when is worse than disruption to where. Morning sequence is coffee → shower → email in that exact order or the day feels off. Sunday night is always laundry + meal prep, moving it to Saturday creates low-grade dread. Preservation / longevity-based — optimizes for things lasting, long-timescale thinking about objects and wear. Cast iron pan gets seasoned after every use, never soap, dried on the burner. Leather boots get conditioned seasonally, rotated so no pair is worn two days in a row. Sentiment / memory-based — environment is an externalized autobiography, objects are kept because of what they represent. Concert ticket stubs in a drawer from fifteen years ago, can't be thrown out. Grandmother's chipped mug used daily even though better mugs exist in the cabinet. Stimulation / variety-based — nervous system needs novelty, furniture moves, routines get broken on purpose, stasis feels like death. Living room gets fully rearranged every few months for no functional reason. Same restaurant twice in a month feels claustrophobic, always hunting new spots. Minimalist / reduction-based — regulated by absence, fewer objects means fewer decisions. One pot, one pan, one knife — cooks everything with this and refuses to add more. Wardrobe is five shirts in rotation, wears the same thing most days on purpose. Maximalist / abundance-based — regulated by having-enough, full shelves and options available, nothing discarded. Pantry stocked six-deep on staples in case of anything. Every wall has art, every shelf full, empty surfaces feel wrong. Social / hospitality-based — home organized around guests, spaces stay guest-ready, private efficiency deprioritized. Fresh sheets kept on the guest bed even when no guest is scheduled. Always extra food in the fridge in case someone drops by, never eats the last portion. Projects / workshop-based — home is a workspace, projects in progress on every surface, "done" isn't really a state. Soldering iron, half-built PC, and open parts bins permanently on the dining table. Three books open face-down across the apartment, all being read simultaneously. Natural / low-intervention-based — minimal products, accepting dust, letting things patina, not fighting entropy. Vinegar and baking soda for everything, no commercial cleaners in the house. Lets sourdough starter live on the counter, accepts the flour-dust aesthetic. Surface-scatter / externalized-mind — can't hold object locations internally, every item placed where last used, house becomes working memory. Keys, wallet, headphones, receipts, lip balm all spread across every flat surface. Bag from yesterday fully unpacked across the bedroom floor, not put away, still "in use." Impulse / dopamine-chase — maintenance tasks lose every attention battle to the next hit, dishes and laundry pile as residue of always following the strongest pull. Sink full of dishes for a week while three new Amazon boxes arrive. Starts cleaning, gets distracted by phone within five minutes, room is worse than before. Avoidance / shutdown-based — unopened mail stacks because opening it means dealing with it, environment is a map of avoided feelings. Six months of mail in a pile, including things that are probably important. The room where the ex's stuff still lives is just closed off, not entered. Depression-maintained — bed is the only regulated zone, energy budget only covers survival basics, dishes migrate toward wherever the person sits. Plates and mugs accumulate on the nightstand over days. Curtains stay closed, lights stay off, one room does all functions. Hoarding-spectrum — objects can't leave because discarding triggers distress, environment shrinks as objects expand. Empty jars kept for years because they "might be useful." Paths between rooms narrow over time as stuff accumulates along the walls. Control / rigidity-based — everything has exactly one place, deviations cause disproportionate distress, guests are stressful. Mugs must face the same direction in the cabinet, notices immediately if one is off. Guest using the "wrong" towel creates hours of internal disturbance. Performance / presentation-based — immaculate public zones, chaos behind closed doors, managing an imagined observer rather than self-regulating. Living room photo-ready at all times, bedroom closet is an avalanche. Instagram-worthy coffee setup on the counter, sink behind it full of dishes. Learned-helplessness-based — tried to maintain, got overwhelmed, wrote off the whole domain. "I'm just not a tidy person" as identity. "I've always been messy" said with a shrug, no attempt made in years. Hires cleaners for basics most adults do themselves, frames it as knowing their limits.
  2. Breaking Balenciaga 10/10 better then the orriginal
  3. Truetitued - Crying after reading one of leos blog posts out of epistemic gratitude. Truth + gratitude.
  4. ya guys think im a crazy liberal but really im doing this out of survival necessity. 😂 I had 1 drink of alcohol in my entire life to experiment. As a kid I viewed it as irresponsible conformity, lack of vision, self-sabotage, lack of foresight and so on...
  5. It's like if the police interact with 10 people, 1 of them is just gonna commit a crime right there on the spot. It's like there's a bunch of people that at any moment if a police interact with them, they will incriminate themselves and go to prison. Even when they committed no real crime, they will commit a crime just because a police officer spoke to them. I remember feeling and behaving this way when I was five years old, and I didn't like authority with teachers and stuff.
  6. i find it funny how the cops take everything personally.
  7. Contemplate why you believe: Cigarette smoke = Lung Cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Air pollution = Asthma, lung disease Asbestos = Mesothelioma, lung cancer Radon gas = Lung Cancer Mold spores = allergies, asthma Pollen = hay fever, asthma, allergies Viruses in air = COVID-19, Influenza Chemical fumes (benzene, etc.) = Leukemia, cancer Diesel exhaust = lung cancer, breathing problems Dust (organic/inorganic) = Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis So all this air related stuff you understand is bad for you... BUT WHEN I SAY: Laundry detergent = depression, mood issues, agitation, fatigue, poor sleep, skin irritation Incense = mood issues, agitation, fatigue, poor sleep, breathing problems Perfumes = ADHD, headaches, mood issues, agitation, fatigue, poor sleep Foam couch (chemical off-gassing) = thyroid problems, fatigue, extreme fatigue, mood issues, poor sleep, headaches Dishwashing soap = digestive problems, fatigue, skin irritation, mood issues Air fresheners = hair loss, mood issues, agitation, fatigue, poor sleep, headaches Candles (scented) = Mental illness, sedation, fatigue, mood issues, poor sleep, breathing problems Cleaning sprays = cognitive decline, agitation, fatigue, headaches, breathing issues Paint fumes = mood issues, agitation, fatigue, poor sleep, vision problems House insulation = chronic high cortisol, over stimulated nervous system Shampoo = bool inflammation SUDDENLY IM CRAZY. OOOOOk. 😂
  8. 50% of these arrest are people not cooperating with police. They committed no real crime, the police shows up, they then commit a crime with the police...

  11. Like these women are Hustling for 1$ discounts when theres millions of men ready to give them free money. Secondly the consumer disease is rediculous. THRIDLy, she's stuck on a single emotion, this is exactly how 3-year-olds get stuck on their emotions and just don't let them go. How do you reach this age and still have emotional blocks like this?
  12. Saying hello. What does that word even mean? omg hello is a 140 year old Telecom marketing decision.

  17. He's planning a psychedelic seminar but it's going to cost money and he has to vet everyone in advance to make sure no one's crazy.
  18. To get a girlfriend you have to feel good about yourself and be in proximity to women and spread the good vibe. And women will eventually sleep with you.
  19. To paint the Mona Lisa you need Leonardo da Vinci. You can't make a sequel to a masterpiece without the people who built it.
  20. Try to convince a vegan that they were born a Komodo dragon. Identity blindness
  21. Rookie mistake, only try to wake up a Christian after marriage. Then they can't escape.

  23. Question: Sitters Vs. Standers? Wipe sitting down? Wipe standing up? 50% of people wipe... standing up!
  24. DUDE this is insane, that CLICK took me 12 years to figure out LMFAO. I discovered air was causing my health issues in the exact same way where I randomly moved house and 99% of my symptoms went away. This was 12 years of hell and chronic insomnia, digestion problems, everything you can think of, and it nearly instantly went away after just changing house. So obviously I was confused, and during contemplation realized the only thing that changed was the air So then I went down the rabbit hole experimenting, I would take a candle and sleep with it and see what would happened. And so on. And noticed all of my symptoms came back. Then I started to do micro experiments, and noticed that every little possible thing in the air altered some part of my physiology and some part of my mental state. Even smelling a lemon for a couple of minutes has a specific "high". Basically we are all high on the air. --- Leo keeps making the point that oh it's a full-time job to care about all these air related things, but really it doesn't have to be perfect you just have to be not chronically exposed to it in your house. That's the real killer.
