not a fan of air conditioning. it's too easy to become complacent and the problem never goes away.

caveat: I'm a huge fan of cooling for computers. because it's practically necessary, not a luxury.

this is why I love winter, the immediate escape is just wearing more layers. with wet-bulb, heat-dome, etc summer, there is no generalizable escape. sometimes it takes a brownout or complete blackout for a wakeup call.

I think that western societies rely too much on artificial heating/cooling and it makes people fragile. Doesn’t make sense to keep 72 all year.

Wear sweaters in the winter w temp at 65. And shed layers in summer w temp at 80.

Become antifragile.

siestas and swimming. water is profoundly awesome at cooling, and the simple fix is building apertures into one's building so heat doesn't bleed between spaces as much.

but honestly, if one can't operate normally without AC, what's the perspective on wet bulb temp? maybe I'm biased, I've lived in the ME & SW.

I mean it’s not a long term solution…

but how do you expect most people to get through heat waves

I'm definitely a fan of desert heat with enough access to water.

I might settle for a fan and dehumidifier.

The only problem is externality pricing.

do you fast? I've found it makes eating way more enjoyable.

also kind of primal indulgence since humans evolved to gorge on large game then starve in the interim.

I had no problem as a kid in the midwest sprawl getting around to do quick errands in my free time, without a car. commuting to and from work was a different story.
