I think this highlights a connection between the fact that my day-to-day happiness isn’t impacted much by my inevitable death, and how I am unusually good at not having to spend my time talking about whatever the viral must-talk-about topic of the week is. And I think it’s largely genetic/developmental for me, which doesn’t mean it’s not also a learnable skill, it means I might be bad at teaching it. Maybe it’s related to Nietzsche’s metamorphoses? Maybe it’s related to a sense of security and internal validation? Or a product of inflated arrogance? :)
