Our present domination global culture is biased to place a higher value on brain vs. body function— see eg someone “declared ‘brain-dead’”… … or in a coma.
People w damaged or missing body parts will say that they no longer feel like themselves
both of you PLEASE put a CW warning on that
not everyone has huge screens so we tap it and then ::vomit::

they’re really not your only two options that was just a menu of a sampling of my ideal sorta
gross over generalization … a bit like the op meme :-)
iirc Brave has a terrible policy Not good More like … a honeypot
At least Ecosia supposedly plants lots of trees (which we desperately need)
We need like a quadrillion NET more trees than we have right now
it’s not just carbon sinks it’s also water vapor (evapotranspiration) it either forms clouds that rain (if lots of trees) or it just makes the atmosphere hotter
the internet has a big physical footprint
i don’t think tokens help.
It makes us an ECOSYSTEM!
We’re not really “human” we”re more like… … a planet.
or a forest, at least (soil, mycelium, roots, microbes, ferns, shrubs, squirrels, trees, clouds, rain, rivers…)
(imho)
lol i know
thank you for the kind reply
aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it
moreso for those who (as w many of us) hv poor/low sense of self-value/self-resilience
i just hear that a lot from tech nerds “my body is stupid/irrational” etc
and it’s like “or maybe we need better models to listen to & make sense of it”
What a terribly reductionist POV.
A few antidotes:
study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )
study some real yoga (not stretching
but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )
The Lives of a Cell (1970s? 1980s? Lewis Carrol, iirc)
The Hidden Life of Trees (2016)
The Dawn of Everything : A New History of Humanity (D. Graeber and D. Wengrow)
Being Bodies
Somatic Experiencing
Sex At Dawn
The Story of B (Daniel Quinn)
