Maybe 10 years ago I read an article in the NYT about outfits facilitating this kind of thing for seven days or even longer. You would have a small cabin in the wilderness, someone would drop off supplies periodically at night. People would be totally alone without interaction - and a lot of these overworked and stressed people would return to civilization and quit their jobs, totally change their lives.

One thing I've noticed after exercising the back of my neck muscles is that confidence and motivational status tends to improve dramatically.
When you are on your phone for 90-99% of the day, looking DOWN, the back of the neck muscles tighten, compressing arteries and impeding jugular vein drainage- meaning you feel anxious, insecure and depressed as blood vessels in the neck are literally COMPRESSED causing brain damage and loss of cellular energy due to circulation issues!
The solution?
Avoid looking down for most of the day (like the mobile phone was designed for you to do so) and practice 9-12 reps of neck extension (looking up) exercises daily to reduce muscular tightening of the jugular veins and allow toxic waste to circulate freely from the brain, do this until you are more confident and happier than ever before (as brain circulation improves)
Imagine how good it must feel to hurtle through the air and strike your prey at 390 km/h. A living missile. Death from above. It’s impossible not to be humbled by such singularity of purpose.
5 warning signs your body is running on high inflammation.
Most people blame these on aging, stress, or bad luck. They're not.
They're your immune system stuck in the on position, quietly torching you from the inside out.
Here's what to watch for:
If you’re interested in the ideas of Ray Peat—the real ideas, not the stupid meme ideas—follow this account, they post a lot of helpful material like these charts
African migrants in Europe are fascinating to watch. They quite literally do nothing all day but loiter. Every waking hour they are just posted somewhere doing absolutely nothing. The motivated ones run scams or rob, but everyone else is just plopped random places doing absolutely nothing.
Zero ambitions in the new land. You never see emotion, just total vacancy. No happiness that that they get to spend their life in comfort without really doing anything. You never see them smile or laugh. When they do show emotion it's only anger.
It actually drains you being around migrant heavy areas.
It's a strange life. Doing nothing every single day all day besides being random bodies shuffling around aimlessly like an NPC in a video game or just plopping down like a seal on a rock by the ocean.
This twin comparison is really cool:
Two twins where one barely (2 times ever) used Botox (left) and the other regularly (2-3 times/yr) used Botox (right), for a period of 13 years.
The Botox user looks noticeably more youthful!
@f1_adict@ivanalvarenga1 Yo fui a ver dos juegos a Atlanta. Entré por Dallas donde me tarde como dos minutos y 3 preguntas en migración, sin filas. Pasé por Chicago y D.C. y en ninguna parte vi nada irregular ni a ICE. Cada país tiene sus regulaciones: https://t.co/eRGcC9o3Yt
@f1_adict@ivanalvarenga1 Es básicamente lo mismo, solo que manual. Les están dando un trato especial a las dlegaciones para ir directamente del autobús al avión en la pista, sin entrar al aeropuerto con todo el mundo. No podes comparar a China con USA donde llegan a vivir +1 millón de personas nuevas/año
