45min driving? yikes

How many miles or KM ?

Counterpoint

Our present domination global culture is biased to place a higher value on brain vs. body function— see eg someone “declared ‘brain-dead’”… … or in a coma.

People w damaged or missing body parts will say that they no longer feel like themselves

both of you PLEASE put a CW warning on that

not everyone has huge screens so we tap it and then ::vomit::

CW morbid human nervous system anatomy, decoupled from rest of body

they’re really not your only two options that was just a menu of a sampling of my ideal sorta

gross over generalization … a bit like the op meme :-)

iirc Brave has a terrible policy Not good More like … a honeypot

At least Ecosia supposedly plants lots of trees (which we desperately need)

We need like a quadrillion NET more trees than we have right now

it’s not just carbon sinks it’s also water vapor (evapotranspiration) it either forms clouds that rain (if lots of trees) or it just makes the atmosphere hotter

the internet has a big physical footprint

i don’t think tokens help.

It makes us an ECOSYSTEM!

We’re not really “human” we”re more like… … a planet.

or a forest, at least (soil, mycelium, roots, microbes, ferns, shrubs, squirrels, trees, clouds, rain, rivers…)

(imho)

lol i know

thank you for the kind reply

aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it

moreso for those who (as w many of us) hv poor/low sense of self-value/self-resilience

i just hear that a lot from tech nerds “my body is stupid/irrational” etc

and it’s like “or maybe we need better models to listen to & make sense of it”

How Not To Die by Michael Greger

see also: anti-flammatory diet

(drink 0.75 gal to 1 gallon of h2o daily)

(eliminate flour) ((pizza, bread, bagels, pasta, crackers, etc))

Start there

And walk vs driving

And do yoga

and eat a head of spinach, daily. …

You’ll be amazed. (at how your body TRANSFORMz0rz :-o GO POWER RANGERZZZZZZS )

(leave your phone at a friend’s house build a better env )

72 hours give it 3 days of that

You will be amazed

at how your OWN body

can trans form its nervous sensory stimuli & feelings

(start drinking water the moment u wake up keep it in the bathroom next to toilet or en route

(where it wont spill if you’re half-asleep and bump it )

What a terribly reductionist POV.

A few antidotes:

study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )

study some real yoga (not stretching

but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )
