Fall and Winter are typically the season for this, but I’ve noticed more people than usual have taken up interest in what amount to gyms. These very, very expensive gyms, which market themselves as almost exceptional in how they can help you regain yourself. All the while these “miracle body regimes” are advertised everywhere. Suspicious industry much?
Some neighbors of mine were headed there. I remember this because they were about to get into their vehicle, and I asked “the location is right around the corner, you don’t want to walk and maybe save transport money” and they responded “no, we’re old, we can’t do that” before they rode there and gained entry so they can run on the machine, and returned having used their whole wallet due to the journey/destination. Though not as memorable as the fact they came back with a brand of potato chips with the same name as the place they went to. Nothing like feeding into what you’re there to fix.
How about you though?
Where did I make any kind of statement of personal opinion of preference?
Okay I got nothing. Maybe it makes sense to somebody else.
It is heavily abstracted. It is okay, some people struggle with abstraction. I like to share some of these aspects that are at the extreme of connections that I can make. I can explain my reasoning in extreme detail, but it will just be more layers of abstraction you may find even more frustrating. There are benefits and weaknesses to abstraction in functional thought. It is a form of intelligence; one of many. None are greater or worse, they are just different. I’m drawing deep threads of thought about the history of silicon valley, the semiconductor industry, changes that happened in the late 50’s and early 60’s, the root cause of the USSR collapsed, and an observation about the negative compromise underpinning why liberal democratic ideals get propagandized throughout history. There are always compromises. I was just contrasting them at the biggest picture level.
