Episode 9: Annoyance

Feeling annoyed? Feel like you’ve had enough and are overwhelmed by it all? Do you have a strong desire to cut off from everything and everyone? You’re not alone. The past few years have put many people in a loop of being overwhelmed, seeking solitude and disconnection, feeling a need to still be connected, but then - due to lockdowns and regulations - found themselves being unable to do so. This has taken its toll.

This episode, which follows on from Episode 8: Inertia, delves further into the importance of tedious groundwork and the necessity for annoyance when it comes to developing ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. Our bodies are designed to be triggered, and without the right day-to-day stress factors the mind becomes weakened. The results of this are reflected in the recent and devastating decline in mental health. 

Jost talks about what it means to be superhuman and how getting annoyed is necessary and healthy, as long as we develop our boundaries, stick to the dao (like horses and tigers do), and do the groundwork.  Leon discusses how annoying theorists and strategists are, how a carpet company changed the world, and what the issues with ‘content’ are.
