#3because occulted technology is sucking the life-force out of you and selling back to you some part of it as electricity. the trick is the fractional way they do this, only taking a 'negligible' fraction of each of the millions of humans...
but it adds up, and what is worse, is that it's greedy... so the fraction keeps going up and up and up, sucking more and more down faster and faster
but most will surely prefer the academic explanation, a lot less magic in that one than in this comment

the "mystery" is part of it
it creates a curiosity, which has a softkind of drawing gravitational pull. I know I'm vulnerable to this.
The mystery drives motivation, hence the connection to energy (the capacity to do work). the curiosity propels my own motivation (willingness to spend my energy) to investigate these things, and others like it.
edit: I am sorry that what I have had to think to make my own sense of this complex reality upsets some people.

This kind of nonsense drivel detracts from fact based critiques of current realities. Do you at least propose something to be done or is it all just mumbo-jumbo?

#7It's been interesting to watch the health and fitness space around brain health and correlations with diet and exercise. People seem to finally be converging around some common truths that have been known for thousands of years. I All roads seem to be pointing towards finding a balance between what we are evolved for as a species and modern life.

We didn't know anything about diet thousands of years ago beyond "this tastes nice" and "I'm hungry", we merely endured starvation, prions, and scurvy… or died because we couldn't endure it. Sometimes we just got lucky with good fishing or fertile farmland, but we were never in control.
I'm not confident enough about the history of exercise to make an equivalent claim for that.

I'm not so sure. Some ancient societies had a pretty advanced idea of what makes a good diet. And people in any time period can tell that "if I eat this way, I feel better and if I eat that way, I feel worse".
