This came into my thoughts recently, both due to a general thought of "humans just need to chill the fuck out" and also overhearing this person at the gym the other day (story below)

This person was doing a video stream at the gym (being respectful, not getting anyone else in shot, talking quietly enough to not disturb others), and I was like ok whatever. Then a group started talking to him and he was telling the whole story of how he was working 60 hour weeks and not being healthy so then he started taking supplements (and some focus drug..not sure if rittalin or whatever) and started forcing himself to work out super hard and get in shape (which he was), then he decided he wanted to make health/fitness his goal, while working his other job, so then he was working 80 hr weeks, then eventually he made this his main job, vibe coded a website, used an llm to scrape terabytes of any health data he could find then put on his website (this is the part that made me cringe hard) and now sells subscriptions to it. To be fair, he even told this group "yeah if you sign up and cancel on the 29th day doesn't matter to me you don't need to pay" as one does.

I don't know. I just got a weird vibe from this and then thought maybe that's the brains of these CEO's and entrepreneur types. It just feels a little slimy to me. Even though they were bettering themselves and I commend that, I just got a bad feeling off of it. I'm sure he was an alright dude. It's definitely part jealously; don't we all wish we could be that driven to achieve goals? I've never achieved a goal in my life. But I also think if humans in general chilled out (not being lazy mind you, do the work needed, but we don't need to build 6895 factories and deforest our natural world to make a buck type thing) we would be better off.
