“[Mountain climbing etc] may be practicing the values and character traits that allow you to succeed in ‘real life’, but it isn’t real life” I’m tempted to argue that given our evolutionary heritage, there is no substitute for complex physical work within a social context

There's an interesting internal motivation problem inherent to all virtuous cycles - it has to be kickstarted somewhere. E.g., someone who doesn't yet like reading has to somehow acquire a desire to like reading to kickstart that cycle, right? Where does that come from?

What I’ve noticed is that motivation to heal disconnection from the body is kickstarted by poor health, depression, or inability to emotionally connect to others. Those can get loud enough for people to motivate them. & there’s no forcing people who aren’t ready yet.
