honestly was looking for a jordan peterson equivilant of “clean your room” and workout sort of rhetoric - but coming from communists
something along the lines of theory/ logical thinking that would state how required it was to work out and develop discipline - this was all rhetoric spurred after reading roderic day
responding to immediate external threats is not discipline. being forced to follow the capitalist’s routine is miserable, trying to impose one upon myself is similarly awful I just don’t also become homeless if I can’t make myself go to the gym or eat less than 2400 kcal in a day.
It’s not self-discipline, but it is discipline. It’s the difference between doing something a coach tells you to do vs. doing it yourself. I think the point here is more “you have the capacity to do a lot more than you might think,” and less “self-discipline is the same as discipline imposed on you.”
