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::

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 )

speaking as a man who was born with and still has a penis and, since puberty, plenty of healthy testosterone :
There’s enough of ‘jokingly’ blaming the people whom I adore as equals (women) for things gone wrong, thanks.
How about, “Empire, you dumb dick” (for building concrete heat-concentrating-cities, among other things)
orrr there’s always the sex-neutral “Asshole” !
Looks like a lot! Hope it’s being split 2x ways.
But that wouldn’t generate as much profit, see! You gotta have Scarcity, otherwise ya cannot jack up the prices so high!

TIL Toast is carcinogenic and so is bread in general (but toast more so) and sugar and alcohol and cooked meat (unless it was cooked by boiling in water and not any other method)
TLDR eat raw or unadulterated carrots, yams, beets, beet-greens spinach broccoli LOTS of raw broccoli (stops cancer!) and raw garlic also
Nothing processed!
swiss chard rainbow chard
NB drink 0.5 - 1.0 gallons water daily (2-4 Liters)
NB gut microbes dictate our brain cravings for food =>
3 days without X (eg sugar/baked flour)
no more craving X
(‘cause those bacteria = gone)
