Reality is the opposite of a metaphor. Someone said that reality is that which bites you in the ass when you don't believe in it.
1. For me, not Rivendell. It's the hardness under the feet, the fluid coolness in the nostrils, the dark and the light, the sounds, the hot and the cold.
2. For unblinding, meditation. That is, quietly observing sensations and mental events, noting the associated perceptions, chains of association, and feelings to get an understanding of how the “enchanted world” is fabricated.
3. Favorite connections with the “real world”: walking, dogs, and, somewhat paradoxically, mathematics.
I want to suggest you and your wife share a notebook space. Or maybe a bigass flipchart that you can't miss when you're wandering toward your devices. You'll see each other's notes and progress and that could be inspiring. Or you could just fill the flipchart with love notes. In code if you don't want your kids to understand them. 😉 Inter-marriage love memos are always a good use of company time.
This is a good idea! Find some way to make our efforts more transparent to each other. We have already established that we have license to ask each other if we're observing the Notebook Rule whenever we see each other using screens.

The second I get my hands on an Apple Vision Pro, I’m going to comment on this post from that
I love you and you are the actual worst.
I'm glad you're using brain protection.

You speak my language brother. Great post.
Feel better soon!
