“The stuff that was good”

Shahid Kamal Ahmad, game developer, interviewed on the podcast Mac Power Users:

“It’s a short life. We’re not kids anymore. But we forget so much of the good, and it’s just the way we’re primed. Evolution rewards us for remembering that which screwed us up. It does not reward us for remembering the stuff that was good.”

I listen to most of MPU at 1½× — so much of it is beyond what I need for my Mac endeavors. But every time I listen, I hear something of interest — though before today it’s always been something about the Mac. A reminder to remember the good stuff in one’s life is helpful regardless of platform.
