    The more people in my life the more complications the more entropy the less I enjoy my life every single problem I have ever had in my life was caused because somebody did something I didn’t expect now I have systematically shut down everybody that I would contact I don’t talk to anyone I sit in my shed all day because I don’t want to engage with the world because life is a scam we only exist to move resources from one place to another
