@TOEwithCurt In recent conversation w/ @michaelpollan, Levin challenged the notion of "DEVELOPMENT" (embryonic, etc) as fundamentally a series of REPAIRS applied towards moving targets. Found this fascinating & plausible, would love to hear more. 2min link - (32m30s): https://t.co/KwgES7e9F5

"Listen to what your gut says" = "Highly ruminative individuals with depression exhibit abnormalities in the neural processing of gastric interoception." Fascinating when science lends supports to woo 🪄🔮 https://t.co/SQCkhDHAZG
