I spent years mistaking ease for progress.
The things that changed me all pushed back. The comfortable ones just kept me where I was.
I wrote Friction about the difficulty worth choosing.

@Daojoan Truth to that. Our species was shaped by adversity for the majority of it's entire history. Those that never face true adversity often fail to mature properly. It's so ingrained that if we cant find it we'll create it for ourselves.
@Daojoan Thinking about things from a physicist point of view, no friction at all leaves you unable to go anywhere. Too much friction makes it so hard to attain things (or generates too much heat) that it reduces the chances of success. I suspect there's a sweet spot in the middle. That doesn't involve GenAI which seems to be the ultimate in frictionless for cognition.
