Counterpoint
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”

(start drinking water the moment u wake up keep it in the bathroom next to toilet or en route
(where it wont spill if you’re half-asleep and bump 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 )

TIL Toast is carcinogenic and so is bread in general (but toast more so) and sugar and alcohol and cooked meat (unless it was cooked by boiling in water and not any other method)
TLDR eat raw or unadulterated carrots, yams, beets, beet-greens spinach broccoli LOTS of raw broccoli (stops cancer!) and raw garlic also
Nothing processed!

“Does anyone know why this is happening?”
Yes. Thom Hartmann and others have written about this. It started after the civil rights, antiwar, feminist, peacenik, environmental, etc movements of the 1960s and early 70s.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated specifically because he was uniting poor Whites with Blacks, calling for Socialism, and launching the Poor People’s Campaign.
It was a conscious, deliberate response by the elite — against the economic and political warfare conducted by the middle class in order to eliminate the classist systemz of oppression.
