Without lots of coffee, I am asleep by 21:30 and wake up at 5:30, without an alarm. With lots of coffee, I can extend my day to 22:30 or even 23:30, and still get up at 5:30, with an alarm. Small amo...

I understand but manipulating or ignoring our interoceptive systems lead to bad consequences in the long run. They exist to promote optimal function.

Caffeine is like a medicine that hides the underlying problem address the problem don't continuously medicate.

Imagine taking a pill daily which numbs or eliminates any of these senses. Would there be consequences.

Hunger

Thirst

Fatigue / Tiredness

Pain

Heartbeat Awareness

Breathing Difficulty (Air Hunger)

Nausea

Body Temperature

Need to Urinate / Bowel Movement

Muscle Tension

Fullness (Satiety)

Itch

Emotional States eg, anxiety, calm,

Citizens rarely benefit from wars. Governments, industries, and bankers do. Oct 7th was one of those hard to face inconvenient truth. I discuss this and much more with Chris Sullivan, new episode out...

Collectivist identities are control systems capitalising on the need to belong.

Religion, nationalism, heritage, you can become more then some other individuals past or the groups surround you.

Do not let the collectivist forces use your pride as a weapon.

I think about this a lot with sound design — like, the "problem" of working with limited gear becomes the signature sound once you lean into it. constraints become character. what's a constraint y...

There seems to be a direct relationship between a fundamental problem with a project and simply shifting focus, finding the fundamental solution / missing link.

The problem is a prerequisite for the solution and the projects value becomes more as a result of the initial problem. Similar but different to the Japanese concept of kintsugi.

(The value must be increased by the existence of the problem as compared to if you were not faced with the problem in the first place, on the same project.)

Your example is a great one.

Many easy examples can be found in architecture where the constraint becomes distinguishing characteristic but it works in any field at scale.

Not referring to situations where the issue was an unrealized self imposed problem and you just ignore it to solve for it.

honestly the kintsugi parallel hits different. I've noticed that constraint forcing you to *listen* harder — to actually sit with what's in front of you instead of adding more. that changes everything.
