I see just a title and link in the title with no context, and I just move along. At least tell people why it's interesting/relevant or provide some thoughts.

How would you assess progress so far? Taking you much less time now to completion I imagine? Noticing big changes?

83 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 30 Mar

I was in decent shape before but it is definitely helping. I was originally doing 4 sets of 25 but that became too easy so I switched to 2 sets of 50. 50 in one set is still a challenge to complete the last few so I think it was a good change.

A few days ago I actually started a new experiment which is to do one set of 50 push ups the standard way and the second set as decline push ups (legs elevated on a chair) which forces you to move a bit more of your body weight.

I was thinking when we hit 100k I might change the goal to 150 a day and do 50 standard push ups, 50 incline push ups and 50 decline push ups to isolate different muscle groups.

One of those "re-evaluating everything" periods. I wonder how different things would be if I really tangibly felt my impending death moment to moment. Not intellectually, but viscerally. Memento mori style.

Maybe you'd go crazy, really feeling that way all the time.

249 sats \ 9 replies \ @k00b 30 Mar

One of the lasting effects of my depression-like period during early adulthood is thinking about my death a lot. It’s like I’m free soloing, looking down, and imagining what the journey down would be like should I let go.

The falling guy’s thoughts and feelings exert a weird pressure on the safe and sound guy’s thoughts and feelings. For me I think it creates an urgency to actualize but I bet it shows up in other ways.

Related: someone in my family had a lingering, awful, bed-ridden death over last 6 months of his life. I've vowed not to let it come to that, but however the end manifests there will still come a final hour.

I imagine what I'll be like in the final hour, how I'll feel. Then I'll wonder: what could I do now that would make future me most satisfied in that final hour? And, whatever the answer to that is, would maximizing for that lead to a better life? By what standard could you even answer the question?

would maximizing for that lead to a better life?

Possibly only from the perspective of the falling guy. It's a bit like becoming an astronaut because it's what your five year old self wanted.

I "look down" several times a day and enjoy letting the falling guy rule my life. He's so simple; "all I have are these few seconds, what did you do with all yours?" The only answer he's satisfied by is "everything I could that I wanted as best I can."

The pain you feel when you die, it happen only in your brain. We are really underestimating the power of our brain.

Can't remember where I read a study that when you laugh, your brain is generating more cells then when you fear of something. And that make me think: people are more sick when they fear something, or they pass through a stressful period.

Stress and fear is a real danger. Just try to limit those in your mind and you will be OK.

Woke up to learn that I'd won the Stacker Sports 2024 March Madness Survivor Pool (#470177). Definitely a little unexpected (less so when I went to bed, since everyone else's team had lost, but still thought Duke's chances were 50/50 at best), and a nice thing to see.

Throw in the fact that it's also a nice morning and I had a good walk with the dog, and this was more pre-coffee fun than I'd anticipated.

I realize most of my time is taken up with animal care. Dogs, cats, fish, lizards, wild birds. It's getting to me. I had a nightmare last night that my wife brought home a giant lizard that needed lots of room. It was only a "temporary" foster situation. I knew what that meant.

That's why after I was fooled with these 4 cats I have, my answer is always a strong "NO" to any animal that could possibly enter into my house. My wife and daughter are always trying to push for more pets but after the 1day they forget about them and they always became my burden to care about.

went to see some rock tombs, and I thought to myself, how did people even manage to build that? Not only it's HUGE, but it's built on steep mountains, and they carved the tomb out of the rocks! Now I see why @DarthCoin wants to build something that LAST; really, most of us probably live around 100 years, and once gone, it's gone; then you get to see people build something from thousand years ago and still stands, like how did they even plan things out without pen or paper, or any sophisticated tools? And all the later generations come all the way to see and admire their creations.

The second thought is the more I see, the more I think people in the past mastered way better skills than the modern ones, yes you built airplanes, the internet, and many cool techs, but the knowledge of how to live in harmony with nature or how to make the most of natural material is going downhill.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 30 Mar

These rock constructions have always fascinated me, and I also wonder how they did it. It's true that in many cases we don't know how they built them. One thing I've learned is not to underestimate our ancestors. I believe that there is a lot of lost knowledge in human history, because no one pick the book 😂 In the past, it was also common for knowledge to be kept secret, because it could be a weapon for the enemy.

I also wish that people lived more in harmony with nature, but I am aware that there are many more people today than there were a few centuries ago, and this makes it impossible, at least in the short term, for everyone to live that way. What I mean is that for most people, it is a matter of survival.

Awesome shots! My gut is that civilisations were much more advanced than history lets on. And that perhaps they were set back many centuries. It just seems to me historians prefer not to share or delve into that theory, instead wishing to believe we are more advanced and intelligent.

So elegant, precise and intentional many historical sites were built. Many align with the rise of the sun, or are located in areas of abundant natural resources. Many structures hundreds of people tall and yet they have lasted millennia. We can't even make an ugly condo last 50 years these days 🤣

And WHY those mountains in specific. Mountains have their own energy and particularities. Those sculptures are for a specific reason there, in that place.

indeed, maybe easier to carving there, also it's facing the sea, overseeing everywhere, great location.
