Doom Card: You Forgot Something

Your memory is shit.

You forget most stuff immediately. What’s left is hopelessly jumbled. It makes you kinda dim. Ever wonder why people make so many bad decisions? Yeah.

Surgeons and pilots use a checklist to perform their daily routines. Do you get that? Intelligent, competent, professionals need a checklist to perform their most basic tasks. Because if they forget something people die. So it’s high stakes, but still, you’d think a pilot would know how to fly a fucking plane.

What crashes your life when you forget? What’s on your checklist? May I suggest:

You want people to like you You don’t have to be awesome Just be nice to people You’re already good enough You want to feel good Exercise Play with friends Cultivate gratitude Limit outrage porn (some is okay) You want something awesome to happen Immortality requires massive tax spending A 20 hour work week requires government regulations Virtual reality won’t be as fun as friends, hobbies, drugs, and dirty sex. You don’t know what’s going on Your memory is shit Reality doesn’t make sense You don’t know what other people are thinking

Start with that. Change it to suit your needs. Cheers!
