    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 )

    • The Lives of a Cell (1970s? 1980s? Lewis Carrol, iirc)

    • The Hidden Life of Trees (2016)

    • The Dawn of Everything : A New History of Humanity (D. Graeber and D. Wengrow)

    • Being Bodies

    • Somatic Experiencing

    • Sex At Dawn

    • The Story of B (Daniel Quinn)

        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”

          I enjoy your answer, I truly do. We do need better models. I just don’t know how we ended up with credit scores and being beholden much of our time to either staring at a spreadsheet or putting up with some customers yelling at us. Life is pretty absurd when you think it over.
