If I’ve learnt anything from numerous askreddit posts on the question ‘what is the best feeling ever?’, it’s that the human condition is rather tragic. The best pleasure is basically the relief of discomfort or pain - like taking your bra off at the end of the day or like this one walking into an air conditioned room.
That’s why I consider being alive as irrational for a conscious being. Suffering will always outweigh good emotions so we should come to the conclusion that not being alive is beneficial for our wellbeing. Somehow the majority of us decides to rather endure pain than end our existence.
Not a super cold one, I’d hate that. A moderately cold one will be great, though.
The first time I ever went to Albuquerque it was in the middle of July. Every day I was there was over 100 degrees. Being outdoors felt like being in an oven, and the inside of my car felt like a blast furnace, but all the businesses had their AC cranked up to arctic temperatures. My whole experience of being there was moving back and forth between absolutely roasting and completely freezing with basically no in between. It was extremely uncomfortable. This was almost 20 years ago, and to this day I don’t think I’ve ever been so hot and so cold so many times in the same day.
I could live without air conditioning for 2/3rds of the day, but if it’s not ~65°F I basically can’t sleep lol
