Georg Complains: FOMO
Hey hey hey! It's us them and you, talking about FOMO, or the fear of missing out, something I think most people experience at some point in their lives, maybe. Except babies, who are ironically at the most risk of missing out. FOMO is an enormous driver of human behavior, and I suspect it always has been. It's also an enormous part of marketing and advertising. So here we go- let's complain about FOMO.

I used to fear missing out on lots of things. Then I started doing things I liked on my own, for my own vindication or entertainment. Most people think I am wasting time or potential... but I think the same of them.

How lame
I'm currently, or at least the doctors general assessment of me is that I'm dying of cancer, maybe a year left if I'm lucky so I unfortunately seem to be experiencing this quite a lot at the moment. Missing out on my kids turning into adults as they're at that stage, missing out on how the world pans out, my background in international politics and how certain world defining events are currently developing. I think a lot is related to time. How much we have or perceive to have left to achieve it not miss out on things. A misspent youth does probably mean I have watched every episode of Colombo though, so that can be a life achievement I guess. At least your videos keep me cheery on some of these long dark nights though. Thanks a lot Georg.

I'm very sorry you're being put through that. Hang in there and make the most of every moment you can. More specifically, look into reducing your intake of the amino acid methionine from your diet. Depending on the type, this may help. Don't harbor false hope, but the science backs it up. I am not a medical professional. Google "methionine restricted diet" or "methionine and cancer" and talk to your doctor. I lost my father to cancer, and my grandfather, grandmother, cousin, aunt, and nearly my sister. I wish you the very best and as much peace and joy as you can manage. Be well and hang in there

Didn't Plato warn us of the effects of losing ourselves to fantasy? My memory is fuzzy but I recall reading about this in class years ago, that he was afraid of theater becoming a form of escapism for people to the point where they become spiritually defunct trying to chase after a dream. Idk. Tv and internet has turned that dial up by over 9,000 😅 Also, Columbo is the best. Everyone should watch him. He's the detective we all need in our lives.

There are too many bears at the water for fishing this season. Salmon are running up the rivers, and the big fuzzies are getting fat for winter. Think I will stay well away and not disturb them.
Reminds me of a quote attributed to Hemingway: "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
"The Navy? This is just mopping!" I felt that in my veteran soul. Cheers! ⚓
I am at a stage of wondering how much different my life would be if I had been wiser and more cognitive in my younger years. In hindsight and after they hurt you, mistakes and misconceptions are so obvious, making me want to scream back in time to warn myself. If only, if only. If only wisdom and understanding were granted to us right away.

Dude, I'm _always_ having an aneurysm. And You're right, I _really_ ought to get on my arse and finally watch (all of) Columbo. I recently got introduced to _'Columbocore'_ courtesy of NoiseLund. It's amazing. Why am I still not watching Columbo. Right now.

The good news is if you've seen one episode of Columbo you've seen 'em all.

I'm 58. FOMO does not affect my life. Mostly because I do not suffer from Affluenza, which is defined as, "The uncontrollable desire to spend money you do not have, on things you do not need, to impress people you do not like."

You're right we are missing out on burning witches . We should bring it back, maybe as a streaming show on crackle.

Oh no, I've watched all the episodes of Columbo and I don't like fishing, I think I'm having aneurysm.
If there's one thing I can't abide, it's an arrogant coffee machine.
I've never been more relieved that I grew up watching Columbo, and used to fish. I will pass on the aneurysm though.

Gotcha, I'm missing out on having a Columbo-induced aneurysm, I must remedy this by binging the entire show asap.
I literally just watched through all of Colombo for the first time last month (it was amazing), fuck I'm glad I got that out of the way before the aneurysm.
I've been thinking about watching Columbo for a long time, this is just the wake up call I needed.

There's a degree of perceived control one has from obsessing on one's desires. It focuses away from problems that one has no control over. Douglas Adams had it right with his Total Perspective Vortex. We can't really tolerate the reality of things, and so have to create our own internal distractions.
