Hormesis Is The Reason For Not Avoiding Uncomfortable Shit

It’s worth taking some time to understand WHY hormesis works as it does … and exploring the connections in the larger knowledge-graph of hormesis certainly will not kill you.

If you ever bother to get cold-adapted … actually understand the principles and practice Tummo meditation … work on mastering breathwork and Lojong mind control … and just generally find practical, zero-cost ways to PRACTICE using your mind and neurophysiology enhance your immune system… you will LIVE a LOT better.

If you actually get cold-adapted, you will understand why most comfort-seeking people never get to really LIVE … or experience the feeling of being ALIVE … but they will get to SUFFER longer, they will get sick more and they will certainly complain a heck of lot more … to some extent, their complaints have merit, ie they are not really alive*.

The way to make your life worse in the cold is to actually trust and grow DEPENDENT UPON your furnace. We could say that HVAC systems prove that there’s no problem so bad that humans can’t find expensive, complicated, constantly nagging things that make the problem a lot worse … but that’s no worse than the hyper-dependent automtive culture which we inculcate with our advertisements and ways that we structure work, life, real estate in our affluent nations … if you imagine that these things make us more productive, then the joke of your clinging to wrong assumptions is on you.
