2026 & physical conditioning

First year in 43 studying physiology as a top priority for the year. Fun, but ending soon. I don't think I have ever spent this many full days just sitting and observing my data fields. 

critical thinking and the academy

This huge confusion is due to :

- critical thinking is just a modern word for epistemology / CT/E

- there is an entire university discipline devoted to CT/E, the department of philosophy

- the language users miss each other and are divided due to this unwillingness or constructed vulnerability

- philosophers together strong :p

Hyrox kerfuffle

People who are annoyed at Hyrox for vice sponsorship, "because that's not healthy", have completely MISUNDERSTOOD THE PRODUCT NICHE. 

If you want to be healthy, you count your macros, plan your sleep, do calisthenics, and work on hard problems. 

If you want to HAVE FUN IN GROUPS, you dress up, cheer lead/follow, do funny things, and pay money to an event organiser.

It's like roadbiking - no one needs a speedsuit. Or a carbon bike. These are SOCIAL PERFORMANCES.
