The problem is also that we have been conditioned to mindlessly consume rather than reflect and do. Thanks for making the connection between these consumer products and their natural counterparts, this was a very interesting read and I just wish it could become part of the collective consciousness.

I have to admit I laugh so hard at all the money that is spent on specific machines that basically try to mimic what “go outside, take of your shoes” does for free 😅

It is almost literally ALL “go outside, take off your shoes” 😅

I heard the "Don't die" guy on a podcast and at first I thought, oooh this is interesting. And then it just got weird and I had the same perspective you do...is this a life worth living? It got to feel very "are we just brains in a jar being controlled by some AI being who is just keeping us alive for some purpose that I can't even begin to fathom."

Thanks for putting words to what I was thinking about this biohacking to the extreme situation.

It’s kind of sad. Even just look at pictures of him now vs before, it’s like all the life has been drained from his face. It makes me sad.
