governance structure of empathy

The first thing to learn in life, is how to govern. One is given primordial legacy VALUES, such as aversion to hunger, from which GOALS evolve, thus leading to STRATEGY development, which follows as a buffering intermediary from TACTICAL experience.

The second thing to learn in life, is how to MODIFY your VALUES. This is a meta game which applies the first learning, to then govern the premises of the first learning.

If you are successful at the first, and second, then life is complete. You can then focus on existing without purpose.

You may further then, engage with incomplete folks by applying the second learning, to EMULATE the values of others, at your leisure. This is the third thing to learn in life, which some call empathy. 

walking days are for biomechanical study

Just the most cerebral hour-walk ever. Figured out the role of walking days, besides rucking days and running days. FINALLY got around to detailed biomechanical study of walking. Been putting off memorising anatomical details since 2005. Gray's has been on my shelf underutilised for the longest time. Case study of current left stance situation : not sure if ankle is weak, or if it stems from MCL injury. Also learnt how toe angle is influenced by femur angle. Cute.
