Importance to Longevity
Importance to Longevity
I was drawn to the study of health, life extension, as methods of mastering life. These are still important, but does anyone notice that in the rush, we tend to avoid the brain? It is not visible. People are lifting weights, rubbing lotions on their skin, dying their hair...
But what about what fundamentally makes us human? What makes us us? that's the brain! So I think all health practises should focus primarily on it, and then on systems to support it secondarily.
Of course, there is an amount of symbiosis, with physical exercise and good food being good for the brain and other areas, but all I'm saying is that in taking drugs to say, prime muscle development or sex drive, we shouldn't lose our priorities!

Human is the most fantastic machines on this planet.
Thus, I don't walk around and think of my brain like this:
Oh, this is my brain!
But, how it all is put together...
We smell, we get this feeling. We get that feeling.
When watching a nice picture, we get this "After-Thought".
Like... We're drifted away to a place where we are alone etc.
We should not mess up our life with this and that.
You only live once...
... So don't fuck up that one and only opportunity

Re: Importance to Longevity
....sure we could die in a split second, but I used to live in fear of that.....and 30 more years went by. I think the Ghost of Christmas Present (Scrooge 1970) says it best, "it doesn't matter how long you have to live, but what you make and do with the time you have left". .....and we still don't know for certain that we cease to exist when we die.....certainly not intending to get into a physical vs. spiritual here, ......but just to say that maybe there is more to us than we think or can see or measure. What if the spiritual is in fact actually physical, but something we have yet to understand, comprehend, or measure?
