I was definitely annoying as a younger sibling. I idolized my siblings. They were 6, 8 and 10 years older than me. I followed my closest in age brother around when I was little. In fact, most of my issues stem from that vs issues with my parents. Having that big age gap made it worse than the typical sibling rivalry probably.

Making content often hinders the ability to just experience the moment, BUT also allows for a record and a memory trigger later to vicariously experience it again instead of mostly or completely forgotten, as well as sharing it with many others, including someday when you're gone your kids and on down. Fully immersing in the moment and doing nothing else allows for better experiences and better sharing that moment with those you are with right then, but so often forgotten, sometimes completely, a short while later. Of course inevitably everyone and literally everything anyone ever did or experienced will be forgotten... BUT at least for now even decades later you'll always have on record that time John hadn't slept for ages and found something Hank was doing super annoying. 😋 And probably also now going to leave your great grandchildren random watching your videos long after you're gone wondering what that was. 😋 -Daven

@@SofosProject True, but at the same time any time you do have that camera out your mind is always going to go to what's going to capture this best and if anyone being filmed or photographed, if they notice their behavior and mindset may also change slightly taking out of/away from the moment.

Sometimes capturing that picture to commemorate the occasion is totally the right thing. Sometimes you should just be present in the moment. I think balance is the key. One can definitely overdo the camera. I don't know that one can really overdo being present in the moment, per se, but taking time to capture memories and mementos can still might be the right move, at least some of the time. Also, sometimes you just want to go out into the world and take pictures. Sometimes taking pictures is a reason to pay more attention to the world, not less. Context and balance.

How much you guys genuinely enjoy and love each other makes me so happy

It's fun being here for these early on. That ending was genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen all day. I also look forward to being around for the beginning of the p4a livestream.

On opening the video I had a moment of mild surprise and vague familiarity at the change in venue but I was just like, "Oh John and Hank are relaxing in a tropical location. How great for them!" Then I heard you start talking about Ting and rum and I literally had to do a double take because there you were talking about a drink from my home. Hello from Jamaica! I hope you soak up alot of sun and sand and have a wonderful time!

"perspective-making" is a very good word for a not-often discussed but very necessary phenomenon. like it's not just learning, or consuming, or thinking, or talking... it's all of those together and more. hundo p adopting this into my personal vocabulary
