Self destructive behavior is our species' Achilles' heel. We are the only species that actively engineers its own demise.

We can overcome this. It's necessary for our survival.

My self destructive behaviors are at an all-time low. I just don't do things anymore that unnecessarily cause me to die.

It took years to get here. Occasionally my mind still suggests a debaucherous act, but it’s quickly shot down. The math doesn't work. The aftermath is misery.

I'm hopeful about the future because culture is shifting. Health is becoming high status. It a useful and powerful currency. Health isn't just our bodies but society, our planet, and our technology.

Self destruction is looking increasingly foolish and low status. This shift will accelerate and eventually existence itself will become the highest virtue.
