Ready to let go and give yourself some rest? Do you want to reduce the expectations others confront you with? Ever dreamed of just being a stupid machine? Of living the simple life? Of mindlessness?
Let yourself be inspired by Sebastian Schmieg’s video essay “How to give your best self some rest”.
It is a slight detour from our program. Instead of trying to be a better machine you are invited to blame your incompleteness, your fallibility, on being a machine. An unfinished machine that has bugs and limits one just has to live with. There is no way of changing them, one just has to adapt to them. Imagine this is how human flaws would be treated. Wouldn’t it make life easier?
