cato 😾(@chowtato):You don’t need to eat pray love your way into another continent to find meaning outside of the tech bubble. You can break the psychosis just by talking to people outside of tech or visiting cities where the larp isn’t the end goal. Go to Philly, have 32 cheesesteaks, run up the Rocky steps, and you’ll be healed for at least 3 months.

If you're stuck in the Bay Area tech rat race / psychosis, make time to travel to other places. Go to a small town in Europe or visit Asia - you'll see that life can be about much more than whether you're IC7 or IC8 or what company you work for. Don't be the person to put on your tombstone: "He got divorced and neglected his kids but at least he made D2 at FAANG"
