Marination of ideas- a personal observation

the thoughts that stay with you, that get repeated, that marinate in your brain are the thoughts that essentially impact your emotions and then in a very consequential sense your behaviour

the world already wants you to constantly consume....constantly. it is gonna benefit me to consume just a few good ideas and put them into context of how they may be useful to me. doing this over several iterations and not moving to more ideas seems the most direct way to cause a change to my identity. marination is equivalent to pausing and reflecting again and again.

a question that then arises is: how to pick up ideas that i want to marinate. answer: use an LLM to find this out even if its initially tedious.

MOST KNOWLEDGE IS MERELY ENTERTAINMENT and if I wanna get entertained, I would probably play a video game or watch p0rn. In my context then, I believe it is highly beneficial for me to learn the 4 DBT skills, reflect on them, apply them, learn from mistakes and keep moving forward.
