What a terribly reductionist POV.

A few antidotes:

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
