Quotes from the video: "Luxury makes pain seem even heavier, and pleasures become dull and weakened. For he who constantly lives in luxury and never touches pain will eventually be unable to bear any pain at all, nor will he be able to feel any pleasure, even the most intense." "He who deliberately enters into pain... lives a far more pleasant life than his opposite... a person's pleasures become both greater and less harmful when they are accompanied by pain." (Dion Chrysostom, Conversations) "We lack physical effort... We have too many ways to escape reality: comfort food, cigarettes, alcohol, pills, smartphones, and television... we don't have to face the need to forage for food and run long miles, we don't have to suffer from severe hunger and bad weather. But we do have to deal with the side effects of our comfort: long-term physical and mental health problems." "When a new comfort appears, we adapt to it, and Our old comforts become unacceptable. Today's comfort is tomorrow's discomfort. This situation elevates the concept of what is considered comfortable... Moreover, new comforts push the goalpost even further away from what we consider an acceptable level of discomfort. Each advance narrows our comfort zone. The critical point... is that all of this happens unconsciously. We are completely unaware of how we are consumed by a sense of comfort and what it does to us. "27% do not engage in any physical activity at all—literally none. Their lives are a kind of prolonged commute from bed to office chair and from sofa to bed." (Michael Easter, "The Comfort Crisis") "How is this possible? We are told that the highest goal of science is to give man as much pleasure and as little pain as possible. Are pleasure and pain really so closely linked that if someone really wants one, they will definitely get the other, and is it really necessary for someone who is in a state of 'heavenly rapture' to think and about "mortal sorrow"? (Friedrich Nietzsche, "The Gay Science") "The paradox is that hedonism, the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake, leads to anhedonia, i.e., the inability to experience pleasure of any kind… The relentless pursuit of pleasure (and the avoidance of pain) leads to pain…" (Anne Lembke, "Dopamine Nation") "Contempt for pleasure is the greatest of pleasures." "I'm not exactly crazy, it's just that my head is different from yours." (Diogenes) "True pleasure," the Cynics often assert, "can only be achieved by despising it and welcoming its opposite—pain. Pain will always be there, and so instead of running from it… one should grab the snake by the neck, quench the fire with one's tongue, rush into battle fearlessly, and look fearlessly at the barking dog: that is, one should accept pain as inevitable, love it…" "will prepare a person for the pleasure of future satisfaction. Inseparably, "pain" and "labor" are for the Cynic a means of increasing pleasure. Paradoxically, pain becomes the cause of pleasure, and the Cynics are a strange breed of ascetic hedonists, or hedonist ascetics. Or, rather, their hedonism is the hedonism of nature itself." (William Desmond, "The Cynics")
