Be on the right side of the screen.
Stop paying so much attention to what everyone else is doing and run your own race. How much time is spent reading other people's posts on social media, watching other people's exploits in the news, listening to other people's ideas on podcasts? Go have coffee with a friend. Go make something. Go outside. All those hours spent looking at someone else's life on a screen could be used to take action in your own life.

The modern medical system is designed to treat *symptoms*, not to address the *root causes* of the illnesses people develop. What's the cause then? Modern lifestyle.

The documentary "Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones" does a good job at highlighting the solutions that actually lie in plain sight: diet, exercise, social support, being outdoor, sleep... But you don't make a lot of money prescribing that!

If humans are so smart, why aren't we able to understand communication between other animals (like whales) already?

Ticking all the boxes there But push it to an extreme and you realize that most of your happiness comes from being part of a pack

Never regret a day in your life. Good days give happiness. Bad days give experience. The worst days give lessons. The best days give memories.
