Does anyone actually give a **** though? Honestly, is a single person here really into the Olympics? I feel like all the hype and national pride that was a thing through the '80s and '90s is long dead and gone and no one really cares anymore. It's just a thing that happens every 4 years now that is mildly distracting.
Apathy is a common attitude these days, it has to do with desensitization resultant of the extra-natural stimulus of one's reward circuitry..
Given what we know about N-turtle's lifestyle choices, it seems inevitable.. hahahaha
Keep in mind, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I am merely saying, be mindful of WHY you feel that way, as the body and all subsequent emotions are built upon a Mechanical system.
It's not that at all. I feel like the patriotism and commendatory the Olympics used to stand for is gone now. You used to hear every home going down the block watching the Olympics in the evening, cheering like it was the Super Bowl. People would gather in bars and wear Olympic shirts. It was an event. Now everyone seems jaded and disinterested, as if the recent insurance in post-nationalism has turned us into a nation of bitter uncaring grumps.
All of that may very well be the case, but I'm not disputing what has happened.
I'm trying to convey why this is happening..
The brain has but One Main Ruler for motivation..
It deliberates everything through this pipeline..
After a strong memory is form resultant of a certain-positive-event, the entire system weighs ALL other Future TO-DOs against that knowledge it has acquired.
So, if your life is already filled with Video Games, Pretty Internet Girls, Cheap Liquor, Recreational Adulterants..
Then, something such as a Sports event could certainly seem Mundane.. Because the Electro-Chemical Programming in your brain says.. I can be Happier doing OTHER things..
