Olo? Sure, but did you ever see a Hooloovoo?

Yes, but they didn't have art schools, museums, supplies and they didn't doodle in boring classes or meetings. They didn't have an "art tradition" - or at least not in the way we do now - they had invented it themselves.

If Rembrandt, Raphael or Warhol were born back then they wouldn't have had the cultural milieu to create the same things.

Loophole. Fire them, they're not employees, we don't have to care about them.

My friend I see a lot of myself in what you wrote, I was in a deep depression and trying to think my way out of it. It didn't work. Honestly I didn't have it as bad as you "sunny day surrounded by loved ones seems like a trip to hell" - this is VERY concerning.

I got better. Much better. I'm literally more social than ever and for the first time in my life i feel my cup is full.

If there's one piece of advice I can give is take ACTION, stay in MOTION. Always DO something to get better. You started going to the gym? That's great! Join some classes while you're at it. Don't stay still. That's when it gets you.

It sounds to me like you're already living with some ambition. What do you REALLY want from 2026?
