Our society is entirely geared toward creating a zero-gravity environment for all of us to live in. Our society is structured to minimize and completely eliminate all effort in every area.
Every task we do is focused on efficiency, ease, comfort, and effortless satisfaction of all our desires. We don’t have to go out hunting dangerous creatures just to feed ourselves and our families. We don’t even have to stand up and walk across the room anymore when we want to change our TV channel. We don’t even have to raise our arms to use the remote control. We can use voice-activated controls if we want to.
The highest paid jobs in our society are the ones that keep us motionless. The highest paid individuals in our society get paid just to think and make decisions on behalf of hundreds of other people. These individuals don’t have to do anything other than think. Their employees do all the work for them.
Couches, chairs, and beds are designed to give us the closest possible experience to complete weightlessness. Pressure points and points of friction are seen as a bad thing and removed. The ideal couch, chair, or bed would be one that held us suspended in midair so we didn’t have to touch anything or feel the effects of gravity on our own weight.
Efficiency in our society means doing less, making all our life processes easier, and removing every input of energy, effort, and discomfort.
The problem with this is that zero gravity is bad for us. Astronauts who spend time in space have to exercise constantly to maintain their bodies. Even with a regular exercise regimen, astronauts still lose muscle and bone density from the absence of gravity putting pressure on their bodies to maintain themselves.
Astronauts can only spend short amounts of time in space before they have to come back. They would lose too much bone and muscle mass if they stayed any longer. Then the astronauts wouldn’t be able to survive on Earth at all.
Even short trips into space can cause astronauts to suffer from reduced bone density for the rest of their lives. Experts are only starting to understand the long-term negative health consequences of zero-gravity exposure on the human body—and yet that’s exactly the kind of environment our society is working so hard to create for us.
Our society has become so easy and effortless that we have to go out of our way to manufacture physical challenges. We have to plan, work, and intentionally create situations where we put enough strain on our bodies to keep us healthy.
The vast majority of people in our society get so addicted to the comfort and effortlessness of our environment that most people don’t exercise at all. We can see the effects of this all around us. These people are in a constant state of physical collapse. The process might be happening a little more slowly than it would if they went out into space, but it’s still happening nonetheless.
This is why people allow themselves to become obese—and not just obese but dangerously, grotesquely obese. These people have created a zero-gravity environment for themselves where they don’t have to feel the effects of their own weight.
These people progressively eliminate effort from their lives. They sleep in comfortable beds, sit in comfortable chairs and on couches, and spend all their time doing as little physical activity as possible. These people see the effort and discomfort of physical activity as a bad thing when that’s exactly what they need to survive.
There are times when a zero-gravity environment is necessary. I find I need to be in the closest thing to a zero-gravity environment when I’m doing deep, intense, mentally demanding work. Every discomfort distracts me and breaks my concentration.
Zero gravity environments are most often insidious, addictive traps to stop us from functioning the way we should. Being in a state of permanent vacation, lounging on the couch, and playing video games is a vortex of comfort and distraction that pulls us away from what we know we need to do.
Everything worthwhile requires effort, strain, and intense mental concentration. The path of health, accomplishment, and vitality requires effort, strain, and intense mental concentration. This is why so many people don’t accomplish their goals and often don’t even set them. Everything in our society is designed to actively stop us from doing the very things that would allow us to accomplish them.
Everything in our society pulls us backward and away from the things that lead to our goals. Accomplishing our goals would be hard enough on its own without any of that. Our society makes accomplishing our goals even harder.
We get bombarded from all sides with constant messages and expectations that we should do the opposite. We have to invest exponentially more effort, energy, and concentration just to overcome all this societal pressure to break the zero-gravity framework holding us back.
Accomplishing our goals requires an additional investment of effort, energy, and concentration over and above the investment required just to break the zero-gravity framework. Is it any wonder that so many people fail?
The human body, the human brain, and normal human life was never designed for zero-gravity. We have adapted to survive and thrive by constantly fighting, struggling, working, and structuring our bodies, minds, and lives to withstand intense pressure.
We fall apart the minute society removes this pressure. We have to intentionally reintroduce this pressure into our lives. The alternative is a steady decline into permanent decay and early death. None of us wants that.
