I found a guy who wrote a popular book called Born to Run. It’s about running barefoot! Apparently humans do much better physiologically without all the fancy $100 shoe designs.
So I’ve been walking around lately, trying to go without my comfy cushy dangerous “tennis shoes”.
So today I put on my usual ts, & started walking. I was immediately reminded of back in H.S. (just out of H.S.) I changed from walking around in my wrestling-shoes to tennis (basketball) shoes, and I leaned so forward so far I immediately felt like falling flat on my face!
But this time, I was a little more attentive to my emotions. And along with this leaning slightly forward, I felt a little more “off-balance” emotionally, (i.e. literally “in your face”). It makes me wonder if this is part of some vast tail-feathered conspiracy to make people more aggressive! Now it was just a small change, but I think that mind-kontrol works better when it’s subtle. And like the “butterfly effect,” small changes turn into big changes over time, especially when multiple small changes are set-up in a row.
(The author does talk about living out on the plains in a group of hunters, chasing-down animals, that one does have to be more forgiving & cooperative.)
