Losing half your stack can be approximately remedied by waiting a while for another +50% purchasing power increase

Bitcoin will induce enormous regret in millions of people, but it will also induce it's opposite, contentment, if they're capable of proper reflection and integration of these concepts

A fixed set of rules will be gamed

Even rabbits and other prey animals dart left and right in a pattern approaching randomness when escaping. Nature knows.

Very interesting about the pigs, did not know that.
Also the wicking ability - yes rate of change of heat loss.
So we evolved toward more intensive energy usage, more Watts per kg - generate more energy flow (enabling higher functions, create order, structure and complexity) as well as to dissipate more as needed (allowing those functions to survive pressures/chaos).

Deep ketosis probably has something to do with it as well. Human babies are the fattest land animal, even more so that baby seals. That same brain we use to hunt is made of fat, ketones, cholesterol. In northern climates the only food source in winter is large fatty mammals, megafauna, with a much higher percentage of body fat than smaller mammals. You are warmer in ketosis, higher internal temperature, with higher heartbeat stroke volume. Like having an internal oil fire instead of internal plant-kindling fire.

I expect body hair loss was influenced by sexual selection, which can be a rational or irrational, an aesthetic or utilitarian, feedback loop. I like to think a newly unlocked higher value set led us to grasp toward something more aesthetic. Probably a meta-mix of reasons.

I always found this interesting about Bitcoiner personality traits, and thus the characteristics of the future elite who will shape their local kingdoms in their image

Life ascends upward when taut, like a rope

Politics is biology

Health and vitality is biological capital, which can't be taxed, benefits the individual, and it has this huge and foundational meta-value that benefits every aspect of your life.

Me and my wife started the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet for a year before pregnancy, and aim to be the pivot where we reverse the biological capital strip mining of our bloodline and begin accumating capital once again. The Sun will rise again.
