"I have a life outside work"

What is this "life" thing are you talking about?

Are you one of those "I like to travel" people?

"Singing"?

"Dancing"?

Popular media?

No, you explored nothing. You just copied everyone else.

Now this is not an inherently bad choice to make, but please stop telling others to "get a life" or "touch grass". They are having fun. Or until you told them what they found fun is not actually fun.

I don't know how many tourists are 'tourists', who got gaslit into tourism, leaving their true interests undiscovered.

It is good to have life outside work, but are you actually having life outside work?

The probability of "I like to travel", and gaslighting

Out of all people,

• How many people truely enjoy tourism?
• How many people only 'like' tourism?
• How many people don't like tourism but still travel just to get along?
• How many just don't?

It seems like basically everyone likes tourism.

Statistically speaking, how is this possible? There are so many niches to dive into. How is it always tourism? How is it always singing and dancing?

I once had a group of men hold me down, insisting that they wouldn't let me go until I sing my 'favorite song'. They genuinely had no ill will, they just couldn't accept the fact that songs aren't my thing.

More than 10 people; cannot accept that someone may not like songs.

This probably amounts to 93.9 percent of the entire population. How can this be possible?

Tribal mechanisms

Turns out, the cake is real. Life, on the other hand, is not.

How do most people live?

• Wake up
• The usual morning routine. By usual I mean the sedentary one.
• Go to work.
• Return from work.
• Watch TV, shorts, movies, serials, stuff
• Sleep
• Repeat

Is this a problem? No. But if you act like you are inherently superior than anyone who wants to be different, then we have a problem.

There are so many niches to explore, that evaluating all of them is basically impossible in a human timescale. Convergence on the 'one true thing' is impossible. I think, if people truely chose what they want to do, everyone would choose something different.

So why popular media is ... popular? Why most people don't workout? How does everyone like singing and dancing?

We are social creatures. We want to fit in our tribe. This means, enjoying the same media as those around us ... hence popular media, visiting the same places and taking pictures 'gotta catch them all' style except for your own breath ... hence tourism, partying hard... hence fast food and booze, and mediocre singing and dancing by those who 'love' it ... just like everyone else.

If you truely love it, why aren't you good at it?

We don't need to be tribal.

We can all be different.

And we can all embrace each other for being different.

And we can stop bullying others for being different.

And we can all trust each other despite being different.

If you are different, to me it means that you are curious. You explored around what can be done, instead of simply copying others. You have questioned what is considered as normal, regardless of consequences.

And I am interested. I want to listen to you. Please tell me what makes you different.

Appendix 1

Let:

x: the fraction of people that accept that someone may not like songs.
E: accepts that someone may not like songs
10 random samples taken, 10 times E is false.
To find: x

Let f(x) : probability distribution of x Lets assume perfect uncertainity, so f(x) is 1.

Let f_1(x) be probability density of x when sample 1 is false

\begin{align*}
f_1(x) &= \frac{f(x)  (1 - x)}
         {\int\limits_{0}^{1} f(y) (1 - y) dy}
\\
       &=   \frac{1-x} 
           {y - \frac{y^2}{2}}
         \bigg|_0^1
\\
       &= \frac{1-x}{0.5}
\\
       &= 2(1-x)
\end{align*}

so when first sample is false, x = 0 is more likely than x = 0.5 and x = 1 cannot happen.

\begin{align*}

f_{10}(x) &= \frac{(1-x)^{10}}
               {\int\limits_{0}^{1} (1-y)^{10}dy} \\
\text{Substitute:} \\
           z             &= 1-y   \\
           \frac{dz}{dy} &= -1    \\
             dy          &= -dz   \\
\text{After substitution:} \\
f_{10}(x) &= \frac{(1-x)^{10}}
                  {\int\limits_{1}^{0} z^{10} (-dz)} \\
          &= \frac{(1-x)^{10}}
                  {-\frac{z^{11}}{11}\bigg|_{1}^{0}} \\
          &= \frac{(1-x)^{10}}
                  {\frac{1}{11}} \\
          &= 11 (1-x)^{10}

\end{align*}

Let w be the median of the probability distribution.

\begin{aligned}
     \int\limits_{0}^{w} 11(1-x)^{10} dx 
       &= \int\limits_{w}^{1} 11(1-x)^{10} dx \\
=>   \int\limits_{0}^{w} (1-x)^{10} dx 
       &= \int\limits_{w}^{1} (1-x)^{10} dx \\
\\
\text{Substitute:} \\
                 y &= 1-x \\
             dy/dx &= -1 => dx = -dy \\
       At x = 0: y &= 1 \\
       At x = w: y &= 1-w \\
       At x = 1: y &= 0  \\
\text{After substitution:} \\
\int\limits_{1}^{1-w} y^{10} dy &= \int\limits_{1-w}^{1} y^{10} dy \\
=> y^{11} \bigg|_{1}^{1-w} &= y^{11} \bigg|_{1-w}^{0} \\
=> (1-w)^{11} - 1 &= -(1-w)^{11} \\
=> 2(1-w)^{11} &= 1 \\
=> 1-w &= (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{11}} \\
=> w &= 1 - [ (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{11}} ] \\
=> w &~=  0.061
\end{aligned}

6.1% of population accepts that someone may not like songs. Or, 93.9% of the population cannot accept that someone may not like songs.
