There was this one moment a while back when I thought to myself, \u201cokay, now I need to put myself in the head of a psychoanalyst\u201d

That seems like a pretty essential starting place for thinking about ourselves, no?

\u2026 nah. Self developement is the place to be.

Yeah, I was kind of joking but the other day I was reading a thing about Ayn Rand and she said something like \u201cpsychoanalysts are the only people in the world who are happy to be considered unhappy because they don\u2019t think human beings need to be constantly and perpetually miserable.\u201d That was kind of the theme of her more self-deprecating stuff \u2013 things like \u201cI am unhappy I am not a billionaire\u201d
