And then if you actually got in that circumstance and you did it for a few days, you may find yourself renormalized to the exact thing you just found unimaginable. Like we humans can adapt to anything and almost instantaneously. It's just crazy. And so like most of the time, the realization is just like we're trapped in this thing

I've had enough cycle times now with measurement where I can feel things intuitively. I can feel my HRV. I absolutely know my heart rate at any given moment. Yeah. So I definitely, my sensory awareness has dramatically increased.

Yeah. It's okay. Yeah.
Yeah. It's okay. Yeah.
I'm playing the power laws. Yeah. So that's why like last week when being with friends, I wanted to try a new thing, go to bed early, get your deep sleep, stay up and have fun to go back to bed. Like it's okay. So really trying to be adaptive.

My mentality is that I'm really motivated by being respected by those that exist in the 25th century. When they read about this time and place, I would like them to say that I saw something that was invisible, that was incredibly hard to do, that the predictable pushback from the status quo was pretty violent. And so I'm really trying to demonstrate the future of being human.

I'm not trying to be normal. I'm not trying to bow to status quo. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm not trying to soothe. I'm trying to say the speed at which technology is traveling is we're basically probably evolving like five, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years equivalent in months of time. Like our speed of evolution is increasing rapidly

And so I'm trying to anticipate where we want to be and not be a lagging indicator of status quo. And so in my mindset, I really don't care what anyone right now who lives has to say about this. I don't. I just really am entirely in that future headspace.

And so that really I find to be liberating because like so much of our society, you're tethered to social expectation and the punishment of what accompanies violating that expectation. And I just found it, I had to come up with a mental model to like try to fully explore this without that tethering.

No.
No.
For me, it's kind of an interesting conversation because we humans do not know what happens after death. No one knows. Now, you can imagine what happens. You can tell a story about what happens. You can hypothesize what happens. All those things are true, but it's an unknowable thing. And yet, that doesn't stop us from speaking with unbridled confidence on what will be.
