Great write-up on why men just build

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up.

He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.

Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself.

Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it.

Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows.

Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result.

Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing.

The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

I've never seen a politician bring change this fast.

As a person who's constantly trying to change things for the better, this guy is super inspiring.

[Danny McGlashing @DannyMcGlashing]

It's unbelievable to me that 2 generations got so focused on money alone — since covid. Everything is a trade or a transaction. I see MRR in everyone's bio's and it's gross.

Money means nothing without purpose. Your life is void if you're not bringing happiness to others.

Your value is nothing.

0

0 sum, you're the 0 though.

This isn't bad it's just a truth we all need to wake up to. We used to care about eachother — and offer real value to eachother, no money involved.

An interaction, a service, maybe just a slice of pizza before the cash register rings up. You know that kind of pizza place, it's confusing they didn't ask for your card tight away.

Everything is just a number now.

It's not fulfilling. It serves no one. And we are losing our humanity.

In an age of AI replacing everyone we need to remember why we get motivated, we why do anything at all, work related.

It isn't money. It's purpose.

Your purpose, my purpose, is to serve the growth of humanity.

With love and care.

No one cares about money deep down.

We all think we do but it's a self-psyop.

The best businesses in the history of mankind were built from a standpoint if purpose.

Unfuck your minds please.

Men — and women in the trades will be empowered, recognized and compensated for their contributions around the world going forward.

People Powered is not a volunteer organization. But an org that distributes merit and funds in an automated way, based on participation.

To clarify, the $Work redistribution is open only to tradesmen, and tradeswomen 👷‍♀️ in construction trades

Huge throwback 💪

[Danny McGlashing @DannyMcGlashing]

Little known fact about crypto traders — the majority of them — or crypto's biggest trading group $Work in construction, in one form or another.

Right now we're laying out the only group and product in crypto for contractors, handymen, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, masons, HVAC pros, roofers, siders, flooring pros, machine operators, demo pros and everyone in construction — follow @HandiWorksCo for more.

I think I also I am the only blockchain dev on Base (maybe in crypto, period) with a solid construction background.

[Danny McGlashing @DannyMcGlashing]

Such a throwback looking back on when we used @HandiWorksCo for #HarveyRelief

[The HandiWorks Company @HandiWorksCo]

We're really excited to begin this journey.

No day traders.

No VC's.

Just tradesmen.

No bullshit.

Today marks the beginning of @HandiworksCo's 2.0 journey from what it was, into a global contractor marketplace.

And that begins with baby steps.

So we're inviting all contractors, whether in residential or commercial work, the handymen, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, masons, HVAC pros, roofers, siders, flooring pros, machine operators, demo pros, and everyone in construction (yes even the architects and engineers) and you gofors and floor sweepers, to join us — in building the first and only community in crypto centered around all of us, and the work we do every single day — group link is https://t.co/8KEZds7iOv and CA will be in the comments.

Share it with every contractor you know whether they're in the US, or southeast asia. We want everyone in on this first phase of community building.

If you're not in construction we invite you to join. But the floor belongs to the tradesmen.

For traders: This isn't a race, or even a marathon. It's a challenge. Share with one tradesman you know irl.

Lets get to work.
