your body *absolutely* does not know what it needs, though, and it's been proven *repeatedly* by tens of thousands of researchers independently

your body wants to stay dormant, consume highly palatable calorie dense food, not to expel energy, not to learn anything new, watch tv all day, brainrot, watch porn, and give up

and as to the main point made by @androidsixteen.eth? about "knows what it wants"? yeah sure it *wants* to not feel pain in the knees, but does it want to stretch to prevent that? nope

it *wants* lower back not to strain, but does it *want* to lift with the legs? fuck no

it *wants* not to have diabetes, but does it want to give up on a sugary diet? again, no

your body is stupid as hell when it comes to long term vision

wearables help translating long term goals into short term "you haven't moved in 1 hour buddy, time to move?"

Not denying that products are designed to hijack your physiological systems, it's a flood the zone strategy to fatigue you and make you capitulate to that lifestyle

I’m camp: listen but don’t obey your body blindly.  Listening is critical but so is understanding that designer foods & dark patterns leverage our bodies messaging to accomplish THEIR goals which don’t align with my personal goals.

Lessons I have learned today:
- do not post off-the-cuff generalizations about health
- or do, because you can then earn leaderboard farbuxx 😆

he's absolutely correct though, the left and right tails are actually "my body is an idiot" and midcurve is "JuSt LiStEn To YoUr BoDy"

Great way to look at it -- water is dynamic and the body is proportionally dynamic. It will do whatever you tell it to, including holding trauma for as long as you need

sure, and those peruvian aliens were also legit. but i hear his point in any case; bodies, like the water they're made from, find the path of least resistance.

Yeah when you're in technocracy, it's very valid to say "listen to the people" without having the specific governance playbook figured out

There must be a heuristic that's the opposite of Chesterton's fence -- ie. when conditions are dire, you ought to make change regardless of how imperfect it is (startups are like this)

feels kinda like saying: "governance is easy, just listen to the people"

Sounds like he’s projecting (sorry boro)

Another dimension to this conversation is the role of gut microbiota in driving cravings and the body's perceived needs via gastrotransmitters and the brain gut axis. The body is an ecosystem, and its drives are not only its own. But the microbiota can be reprogrammed as that happens, the default desire stack of the body shift

Haha😅. True tho, I be listening to my brains rather than my body. Did that before, I almost turned obese🥲

My body also = my brain.

And my brain knows what it fuckin needs.
