I’ve had a lot of pain in my life as a diabetic — 4 injections a day from age 2, seizures throughout childhood. But on reflection, I’d still say that most of my suffering has come from my thinking — overthinking, and wishing things were other than they are. My paper with @IsabelaG is out. We diagnose this problem as "latent Platonism," which causes suffering. The cure is oscillation: the skill of switching between thinking and experience. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-026-06669-3 #philosophy @philosophy
