This is really insightful, thanks. Makes me want to take another swing at Infinite Jest. With depression, we might take medication to grant us a seat at the table of recovery via a therapist. The hope is to get off of that medication eventu

ability to sit and rise from floor does not mean you should focus on sitting and rising from the floor in a regimented manner in hopes of a long capable life. Grip strength is also correlated with a capable old age. Does that mean you shoul

I've always meditated on my own. I tried Headspace to see what the fuss was about and thought it was laughably bad...but i'm not a beginner so it probably just wasn't aimed toward me. Sam Harris's app is the only one i f
