CONNECTIONS, AND CREATES A
DEEP KNOWING, ON A SOMATIC

SHARE MEALS, LAUGH, LOVE,
AND DREAM AS OUR ANCESTORS
DID DURING TIMES OF
UNBEARABLE SUFFERING WITH
NO END IN SIGHT.

in imageDAY NOT WITHOUT INTERRUPTION FOR 10 YEARS THEY'RE CUCKOO
AND IT DOESN'T

in imageStart viewing EXERCISE as a privilege instead of a punishment.

Be GRATEFUL each day for the ability and opportunity to move your body.

As there are people out there who'd do anything to be able and active.

"I GET TO" instead of "I HAVE TO"

It's time for a PARADIGM shift.

Immanuel Kant
In his early work, Kant embraced
German rationalism. In 1781, Kant
stepped back onto the stage with the
Critique of Pure Reason: shifting
the center of knowledge from the
world to the mind that knows it.
No longer was the mind a passive
mirror of reality. Instead, reality
always appeared through the
architecture of our perception.
@bigthinkers

in imageWhy great minds change
their own
These examples remind us that
true critical thinking begins at
home. To interrogate our own
assumptions, to stay open when
experience, dialogue, or
suffering presses against us —
that is philosophy at its deepest.
In our polarized age, where
doubt is mocked as weakness,
their lesson is urgent. Can we
welcome change in our own
thinking - even delight in it?

way better than my essay on spiritual rot tbh

in imageI ALSO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT WHAT ARTIST
AND CRITIC JENNY ODDELL WROTE IN HER
BOOK HOW TO DO NOTHING: RESISTING THE
ATTENTION ECONOMY (ONE OF MY FAVORITE
PANDEMIC READS THAT I STILL THINK ABOUT
OFTEN TO THIS DAY)--
AS MORE AND MORE OF OUR LIMITED
ATTENTION IS AGGRESSIVELY HARVESTED BY
BIG CORPORATIONS AND ONLINE ALGORITHMS,
OUR OFFLINE INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND
IMAGINATIONS ARE ONE OF THE LAST
REMAINING WILDERNESSES THAT WE HAVE IN
OUR CONSTANTLY ONLINE SHARED REALITY.
