transcript

"Pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing, and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors, so now it's like 'the point of doing them is to get good at them' and not 'this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives.'"

My partner made up a word - Dysfunctionlust: the pleasure you get from doing something that you feel no pressure to be good at.

She's quite a good writer but super hard on herself about it, whereas drawing is a dysfunctionlust for her and so quite relaxing.

It's based on the German word funktionslust: the joy of an organism doing what it's meant to do, like a dog running.

I'm German and I never heard of Funktionslust, neither has my Autokorrektur. Still, that makes sense.
