It's all to ameliorate, I think, ultimately fear.
And I think, yeah, I think by actually really just spending a lot more time, try and get that 93.7% down to like 50%, spend as much time as you can outside.
We know that people who spend more time outside are metabolically healthier.
And I think it's for pleiotropic reasons.
But I think one of it is that it is the ultimate solution.
convincing of abundance and fundamental abundance in our world and of awe, which I think is really the antidote to fear.
And that has a profoundly soothing effect on our psychology and the sense of scarcity that drives a lot of the decisions that actually make us unhealthy.
It's fundamentally rooted in scarcity.
And I think also when we realize
We are part of nature.
Again, going back to that Taoist statement, we're a process, not an entity.
Realizing all the trees around us, when we take that walk, even in a city, we see all the trees.
All those plants, all those leaves are making the oxygen that process, that literally let us do oxidative phosphorylation.
And that sun and that leaf on the tree, the sun's energy is literally being stored in the carbon-carbon bonds that the plants are generating in photosynthesis that ultimately
all metabolism is is unlocking the potential energy stored from the sun to create the human energy that lets us love and move and live and think and do all the things we love to do and then it just becomes so obvious like of course we have to like eat real food and of course we have to not poison our soil with pesticides and of course we have to like
you know care about the environment and we have to get outside and move and we have to be in the sunlight during the day because we are the environment we are a process that's constantly in dynamic conversation with it and um i think i think a lot of people will find that their health gets a lot better if they spend radically more time outdoors and i think a lot of people might say
Well, I can't.
I work on a computer.
And I'm like, Rome is burning.
We're sick as hell right now.
