- Interesting to consider in view of what Fisher wrote about on the so-called “depressive hedonia” + in our scrolling obsessed world. That is: are our “undisciplined habits” and our “procrastination tendencies” an inability to stop pursuing pleasure or are they death drive instincts where we attempt to return to a former state/an avoidance of fear?

- I also found it interesting to consider the distinction of good v pleasurable. What feels good may not necessarily be pleasurable. We engage in compulsive repetition of an obsession with nostalgia, with social media, with excess to feel good. This deprivation of spirit, this Fisher idea of “something is missing”, is undoubtedly not pleasurable to the spirit or to the soul - I can no longer find the original source but there is also something to be said about capitalism and this death instinct that Freud speaks of?? Maybe I will think on this more - I can’t speak much on the biological assertions but I found it valuable. Perhaps looking to my behaviours and asking whether I am self-destructing to please a death instinct will help me beat my bad habits 💭
