They would have impaired sleeping capabilities!

Freetime should be spent toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the things you don't. I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't need to feel so down in our time. I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my goal, that is what I care about. you do you tho 😋 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #10 messages/400 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── The schizophrenic sees truth in dazzling displays of colors unknown to man, while the neurotypical sees truth in shades of gray that can be reasoned with. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┘ --- #11 messages/296 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── The trick is, if you *think* you're schizophrenic, then you will be.
