A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
Whenever you have strong negative feelings because unfortunate things are actually happening to you or you imagine that they might occur, see whether these feelings healthfully follow from your wishes and desires to have better things occur. Or are you creating them by going beyond your preferences and inventing powerful shoulds, oughts, musts, demands, commands, and necessities?
How to Stubbornly Refuse to Make Yourself Miserable About Anything-Yes, Anything
Albert Ellis
The three interim measures will merely buy time – the phrase so expressive of purchasing power and priorities – for the mitigation that must, one of these days, ensue, or else the overshoot will go on forever. And because agents are rational, they will not renege on this obligation. Removal will be their main return ticket, complemented with adaptation and geoengineering, redeemed with the overdue cuts: talk not of the devil but look on the bright side. We shall call this rationalism-optimism, a central component of overshoot ideology, carrying over the elements of the IAMs in which it was incubated.

Hemingway, Ernest
