I realised today that as a human being I respond best to short task based instructions, because they alleviate me of philosophical responsibility. Tell me to run 5 miles, bench 50k, write 500 words a day, cut out carbs, create three performances in two weeks and chances are I will assume that its possible and do it. I’m inclined to believe the person delivering the instructions knows what they are talking about. True or not this frees me of responsibility and the rest of my life is sucked black hole like into said activity. It is only through such a loss of perspective that i have accomplished things that i would not have deemed possible for myself.
