    The philosophy of: Julia Banks saying she could live on $40 a day (and what Seneca’s got to do with it)

    May 4, 2018 - By Dave

    Aussie MP Julia Banks says she could live on $40 a day if she needed to. And the common criticism of her is “Well, why don’t you?” Banks comes from a wealthy blue-blooded heritage and she can probably afford to live of $4000 a day if she needed to. But this criticism of her, telling her to ‘do it then’,…

    Chunkyism - On the philosophy of... - Stuff it

    (A reminder of) The Philosophy of Chunky – It Chunky destroys it, it’s worth nothing.

    March 29, 2018 - By Dave

    The point of writing (whether just for yourself or publishing it) is to document what you do, why you did it, and then reflect on it to see how it went. And it’s also to make sense of the mess. Your mind is full of random thoughts, things people said to you 6 minutes ago, 13 years ago, 4 seconds…

  • On Attachment - On Indifference - On Socrates - On the philosophy of... - Stuff it

    What are you attached to? If you remove it from your life, can you handle it? + The Philosophy of: Socrates (on indifference)

    January 9, 2018 - By Dave

    Is it possible to not get attached to anything? Because nothing is actually yours. Your house, your car, your lifestyle, your marriage, your dog, your possessions, they’re not yours. They can easily be removed from your life in ways you have no control over (maybe even suddenly without warning). Oh okay. So there is one thing. If you say something’s yours,…

    On death - Stuff it

    Cracking the screen of your phone and Death = same thing

    December 20, 2017 - By Dave

    The problem with death is that a lot of us are shit scared of it and hate to talk about it, even though it’s the only thing guaranteed to happen (well unless this curing age thing is for reals). But we have a fear of it, a fear that’s going to end exactly when it happens. Death and telephones If…

    If you have something you think you can’t imagine losing, you don’t own it. It owns you.

    November 22, 2017 - By Dave

    Do you have something you can’t imagine losing? Or something that you can’t afford to lose? Well that things owns you. You’re its bitch. I would hate to lose my laptop, mostly because I use it to write and watch stuff. So I would probably go and get a new one. I would also hate to move from the Sunshine…

    If you managed to survive okay without something or someone before they came into your life, you can live without it after it’s gone

    November 21, 2017 - By Dave

    What’s the most important thing or person/people/animal in your life? At some point they came into your life, right? But before that, you were fine living without them, so it’s realistic that you can be fine without them (And you will be without them at some point). If you have a baby, meets someone you love, buy a house or phone, move to…

    Imagine the worst case scenario to appreciate what you have, and to be ready for its possible (and inevitable) loss

    November 13, 2017 - By Dave

    Imagine losing your job, your partner of husband or wife leaving you, getting a terminal illness, a burglar breaking in and stealing all your stuff when you’re out, or your dog or cat suddenly getting hit by car… The most severe part of the impact we feel when we lose someone or something in our life comes from us either…

    On Indifference - Stuff it

    When you fuck something up… Congratulations, you’re free now. You don’t have to worry about fucking it up anymore.

    October 4, 2017 - By Dave

    This is the most expensive phone I’ve ever bought, and yesterday I dropped it and the screen broke. EXCELLENT. Now that the screen’s cracked, I don’t have to worry about cracking it. I’m free from worrying about it happening now. If you break something, lose something, break up with someone, or fuck something else up, that’s great. Because you have now…

    Simultaneous experiment #2: Go 12 months without taking a single photo

    September 5, 2017 - By Dave

    I made three new year’s resolutions this year and one was: Be Present. And for the most part I have. I don’t use my phone or computer in the presence of any friends anymore. I check my phone twice a day. I have 0 things that give me notifications and my phone is always on silent. I also look back…

    Chunkyism - Stuff it

    Chunky’s school of philosophy #5: If the dog destroys it, stuff it.

    June 11, 2017 - By Dave

    Bliss n Eso just came out with a new album (oh, it’s a banger alright) and this is a line from Moments: The only thing we really own is our memories. In the last year, my dog Chunky’s chewed his way through about 10 cushions, a few shirts, a couple footballs, a hockey puck and a TV remote (some of which were…
