Movement. The idea that movement is medicine, and or, the purpose of being a human is movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">why do we have brains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So\u2026 The purpose of having a brand isn\u2019t too \u201cthink\u201c\u2026 Rather, to coordinate movement. Being a biped , having two eyes for depth perception, balance, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">a hike a day keeps the doctor away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that I\u2019m back in LA\u2026 I almost tried to religiously do my daily morning walk hike. To me it\u2019s almost essential and critical?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">to start thinking, start hiking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming that thoughts, having interesting thoughts is our supreme joy and passion, then\u2026 Hiking and walking seems critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve discovered for myself, walking around the block on flat surfaces is insanely boring, going on a walk in a slightly hilly area, with natural dirt and rocks, windy paths and elevation is 1 trillion times more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with homes, assuming you want to buy a house or something, it actually seems that the best piece of property is to buy it on a small hill or a small slope or elevation, it doesn\u2019t need to be like super high up on top of the hills, but, living on a slightly windy road, with a bit of a elevation and a view seems preferable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? I think there is this uncanny Valley, of flat things surfaces elevations without any irregularity. Nothing in nature is 100% flat, if you\u2019re on a hike even if you\u2019re on a relatively flat surface, each step is a little bit different. With flat concrete, each step is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wellness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big thought I\u2019ve been thinking about is in regards to wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, nobody on the planet wants to be unwell. So it seems that as a general tactic, trying to eradicate wellness from your mind body and soul seems to be the first step forward. However, the big thought is: once you are well, then what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful thing to do is once you are well, helping other people who are unwell, which seems to be like Christian Jesus ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More interesting on orthodox I have is, assuming you are 100% well, then, is the goal to become super well? Like\u2026 Rather than thinking about wellness as like a scale from 0 to 10, thinking of it like wellness\u2026 Like you could stack it indefinitely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let us say that zero is misery and unwellness, and 10 is at a point in which you have a clear mind, happy thoughts, you feel joyful, glad and clear\u2026 No mental disturbances or issues etc. Like some sort of perfect Zen tranquility. Then once you reach this goal\u2026 Could you then, increase your wellness level to hit 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 30 and beyond?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like if you\u2019re thinking about a video game\u2026 Like if life were like Diablo, you start off at level zero or level one, and the ideas you do not max out at level 10. That you can indefinitely increase your levels?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is or are the best industries to be in?
