Honestly, if you’re thinking about resistance training, just start.
You’re not expected to have perfect form on the first day. Lift extremely light if you have to. Ask a strong friend to guide you.
Stop fearing it. YOU control the pace of the journey, so take the first step
@David_Kicinski I think it’s perfectly plausible that basic phospholipids, sugars, and amino acids could form on their own. RNA is a completely different story. You don’t simply go from basic macromolecules to self-replicating material. It doesn’t make sense.
@David_Kicinski To think that the working machinery in the body is simply millions of tiny proteins working together is amazing. It’s hard to believe that evolved by itself, too.
You don’t realize how poorly you understand something until trying to write about it clearly
An idea can feel perfectly clear in your head until you try to articulate it precisely
Writing forces the discovery of whether you actually understand what you believe
@ZubyMusic I’ve gone down massive political rabbit holes in the past. Usually I become viciously opposed to certain ideologies and their political rhetoric. Then I realize how much mental space it consumes and I simply have to stop.
Obsession with politics becomes a sickness.
@lichthauch It’s as if you’re Prometheus twice. First you must steal fire for your own gain, second you must steal it for your whole tribe.
The first time, the only one who suffers if you fail is you. The second time, failure makes the whole tribe suffer.
@Jayyanginspires So real. I’ve personally decided to simply keep experimenting until I find the right thing to do. Nothing is worse than staying in your head trying to convince yourself of the correct path.
One of my favorite lines comes up a bit later in the novel
“And, of course, people are interested only in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. And I here make a rule—a great and lasting story is about everyone or it will not last. The strange and foreign is not interesting—only the deeply personal and familiar.”
@DataMeister1@dom_lucre Yeah, it wasn’t the researchers. The Daily Mail boasted about “100%” certainty and many other people online are claiming the same thing.
