"Big city" FOMO, philosophy degrees, influencing past memories, and psychedelics w 🍷

  • Is there a point to life itself, or are we fooling ourselves by distracting ourselves with things like chasing success or love? Why are we so focused on appearing successful or looking for someone to love us - wouldn't that mean that we're prioritizing how others view us instead of how we view ourselves? Are big boobs worth it or just straight-up back pain? And why is it so hard to sit normally in this chair? If you're into exploring these kinds of questions and tHouGhT eXpEriMenTs then you're gonna love this episode of Red Wine Talks with yet another subscriber in a coffee shop turned good friend, Anna.

    it's crazy to hear her talk about not feeling beautiful compared to other girls on instagram-- the first thing I thought when the video started is "wow, she is so gorgeous, like a young Meryl Streep". I guess it just goes to show how social media and instagram in particular can warp our realities. I really loved this episode in particular and learned a lot zoubieeeee

    Here's a conceptualisation of Philosophy from a trip:

    Absurdism = fuck yeah! Life is pointless! 🥳

    The blue and yellow of this apartment and the shadow the fan casts on the ceiling, with the depth into the background with the hallway leading to a back room and everything from the guitar reclining on the corner, the pink peonies on the table and you two gorgeous beings sitting on stunning chairs in the forefront- everything in this makes for a perfect oil painting! Amazing talk too!

    Basically on the memory part, our brain is not a repository of collected facts as we mistaken it to be. Our brain constructs the “memory” only when we recall it; the constructed memory is therefore not always accurate and in fact, varies by our mood, situation and feelings at the time of recollection.
