we're too afraid to enjoy the simple things. [The Counter Hit #4]

Sam goes down a rabbithole of existential dread - do we like complicated things to protect our ego? In addition, good news about cement kilns and better news about dementia/Alzheimer's sleep improvement indicators. We get the usual FGC Terminology review (thanks to a request from our Patreon Supporters) along with some Reddit Life stories analysis. We end with a note from the Bubble Bobble creator, Fukio Mitsuji, who gives us lessons on a meaningful life and knowing when enough is truly enough.
