• Action is something agents do to change their environment. It’s the only real thing we do. Thinking is the bodily process of choosing which action to take in every moment.
  • To act is to live. Living is the process of taking action in every moment. When thinking/acting stops, we die. Sometimes we say we’re doing nothing, but we’re always doing some actions (e.g. breathing) until death.
  • Your life is a string of actions. Every moment is binary: act (1) or don’t (0).
  • Inaction is decay, entropy, slow death. Inaction delays pain—but makes it worse. Action is pain now, with purpose. Inaction is random suffering later.
