Episode 6.15: In praise of obsessive self-distraction that frees the nonconscious brain.
I get obsessed with things and I’m not ashamed of it. I understand the things that I am obsessed with are often trivial. But I also understand that they distract my consciousness - which would otherwise be trying to solve at a conscious level problems that my non-conscious brain alone is likely to be able to resolve. So my obsessions are ways of freeing up my non-conscious existence to do what really matters by fixating my consciousness on things that don’t.
