Look inside, a sauna

“We have become gods but for the wisdom,” — Eric Weinstein.

Thanks to technology, humans can do almost anything. Yet we choose to do almost nothing about the most imminent threats facing humanity — or even our individual happiness and wellbeing.

Where to look for wisdom in this world gone mad?

I suggest the sauna.

At first the extreme heat and cold may feel anything but wise, or even pleasant. But suddenly it becomes tolerable and then strangely delightful — actually better than what you remembered even possible.

Just arrive and let your body and the heat conspire to deliver your back into your life — suddenly a bit brighter and more interesting than you remember. But this remembering invites something like wisdom, often as helpful nightvision into a few truly dark and scary corners. That unbearable heat somehow more dynamic and approachable than before.

If it’s wisdom you’re looking for, they will tell you to look inside. I just suggest doing so inside a sauna!
