Do you mean memories of what our lives used to be when we were children, or memories from our freer recent past as a society?
I don’t know exactly what you mean by that,when I have high energy ,‘ high enthusiasm,most of peoples feel like they have very little positives feelings,how they manifest these positives feelings feel very low intensity and even forced and fake like an automatism that you would expect in the given context,0 enthusiasm,and instead of living in the present,they either talk about their past good moments with nostalgia,or they talk about their futur aspiration even if that’s pure fantaisy,sounds like learned helplessness in the present,lot of them are not willing to experiment new things even if these things could be the very solution or their perceived problems,even easy things that do not pull them out of their confort zones.in term of subjectif feeling,a high dopamine high gaba high androgen state make me réalise even more the poor states peoples are in because of the contrast between me and them,and because by experience I know Wich state and Wich feelings tend to cause peoples to have these ideas and these tons of voices(there is peoples that don’t sounds and feel dead like some childs and young’s women that increase even more my enthusiasm,fullness and joy)just their tons of voice tell you a lot about with state they are in,peoples need sunlight fruits and to stop watching news,covid news and stop listening to disgusting music that cultivate these weak feelings of learned helplessness melancholia,nostalgia,fatality...etc,they should’ cutivate joy and well being
What I meant by that is that I feel like there has been a shift to speaking from the mind than from the heart. The heart uses simpler words but the words have more meaning. For example, can there be another Harry Potter anymore, very simple language but a captivating story?
I guess it's just related to the increase in PUFA consumption/decline in metabolic rate. Heat production and CO2 production has to be very high for real creativity. But everyone is scared of saturated fat, sugar, salt, calcium, aspirin, everything that raises CO2.
I made the thread because I briefly became hypermetabolic and really noticed the drastic hypometabolism everywhere... But it's a pretty pointless thread because there's nothing to really do about it aside from trying to raise my own metabolism I guess
