If more people understood how are brains are functioning similarly to how they did thousands of years ago, but get activated with modern stimuli, there'd be a lot more change happening.
Yes, Anna. This names what so many are feeling. We’re not broken—just misaligned in a world our nervous system was never built for. The problem isn’t personal failure. It’s spiritual gravity: a collective false weight created by projecting the ego as the center of the human condition. In my work (recovery from amputation, paralysis, head injury), I’ve seen this time and again. It’s not about fixing the self. It’s about remembering why and what we were before the distortion--and yes before the trauma. We were whole. So change (as you suggest) won’t come from more information or better hacks. It comes when human beings step out of reaction and return to their own presence. When they stop fighting our design and start aligning with it. The hum of what we are is beneath the surface--and it never left. But we have to listen below the noise. Great article.
This was a great read.

Hopefully!
Thank you, Jimmy! I can imagine this, along with meditation and other practices for self-reg, becoming something kids learn -and practice-at school.
It might take some time, but not that long ago people could smoke on the plane 😂
