Rational Longevity: Scientific News and Conversations \w Elias Schlie#36 How he went from Depressed to Superhumanly Focused - Udesh HabaraduwaUdesh Habaraduwa is one of the most hard-working and focused people I have ever met.

Today, we talked about good and bad vs. right and wrong. We also went into how personality influences our view of the world and Udesh gave me a new understanding of why so many people will never be able to believe that nothing matters.
We also really went into arguments for why this whole thing that we do is kind of meaningless. So consume with care ;) Enjoy!
