This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
For 99.6% of human history:
- Eating was occasional
- Fasting was the default
- Movement was the entire day
- Sunlight was unavoidable
- Sleep followed darkness
- Community was mandatory
- Food was scarce and treasured
- Fat was sacred
Modern life:
- Eating is constant
- Skipping a meal is "disordered"
- Movement is scheduled, paid for, and called exercise
- Sunlight is blocked from March
- Sleep competes with a glowing rectangle
- Community is booked through an app
- Food is abundant and feared
- Fat is the villain in every health leaflet on the wall
We've inverted every variable that ever made a human thrive.
Then we're confused that nobody's thriving.
The species was running optimally for two and a half million years on a setup the modern lifestyle has spent the last seventy years systematically dismantling. The result is the population currently outside, blinking in mild sunlight, holding a bottle of factor 50 in one hand and an antidepressant in the other.
The factory settings still work. Most people have never been allowed to find them.
I dunno why Kenyan schools suppress the evolution and self discovery of adolescents. Prescribed hairstyles, rigid uniform rules. These are safe channels through which teenagers can express themselves. Experience a sense of autonomy. A harness one. That energy will express itself in one way or another.. including arson.
Let ppl go through the stages of life. Let kids have their own hairstyles. Conformity has no place in 2026. Let spirits express themselves.
Status quo is clearly not working.
Anyone else notice that when a bill is beneficial to US, it takes hearing after hearing and infinite committee meetings to maybe pass the house
But when it's for Israel or Ukraine, it's passed before any of us even knew there was a bill
i honestly can’t wrap my head around it. if God put this much order into the smallest parts of creation, what makes you think He would leave you completely on your own?
Hate how as a Kenyan, everyday feels like we are parenting Kipchirchir through his presidency because he's a toddler that wants to mess up everything.
It's all "Wacha!" "Usiguze hio" "Usiuze hio" "Usiibe hio" "Usikule pesa ya education" "Nisikupate na terrorists" for fucks sake!
“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfil the way that is in you.”
- Dr. Carl Jung
A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.
If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
