Humans need to do things to thrive. We need the wind in our face, the steepness of the mountain making our hearts beat like crazy.
Reminded me of this piece from a few years back, discussing Heying and Bret Weinstein's book.

Physical reality puts constraints on your epistemic beliefs. Systems with feedback, such as gravity or physicality or sailing or coding or drawing wires etc., etc.
Practically speaking, believing the many strange things that, say, woke activists or sociology professors do, “works” only because there is no longer any noticeable punishment for believing nonsense. In many intellectual circles, the price for holding faulty ideas is zero – or even negative.
Peace, friends.
