I try to pull what little joy out of life that I can. I think the only things that matter are what matters to us living things.

The best way to live your life is a type of compassionate hedonism I'd think.

Some things with too high a cost/reward ratio, like 10 more years of a college or something, I just won't do. I'm going to be dead in 50 years anyways, so what's the point?

Learning a new programming language? Maybe, but only if I like the language. Luckily I often enjoy learning.
