In the ocean, the deeper you go, the lower the energy level of fauna there. Weaker muscles, slower moving. 🤔
There’s a lesson there I can’t quite figure out.
I’m going to flatter myself by interpreting my generally low-energy personality as “deep”
I’m not napping, I’m just pondering the abyssal depths of the human condition
“The secret to doing good research is always to be a little underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste hours.” — Amos Tversky
Is 20h/week a “little”?
There's also: increased pressure, not enough sustenance for large animals, a lack of light, animals that depend on bits of food that sink from the upper ocean, animals that attract prey with light and hot-water vents from cracks in the ocean floor. Run with the analogy.
I read this as “make myself flatter”. In the Wolfram cellular automata days the most efficient use of energy to movement forward was to build a single cell tower that fell over.
