There seems to be some underlying oneness or coherence between all things.

And this idea that contention is actually necessary to compose a static structure.

There needs to be some dynamic tension to make something real.

And that implies limitation in a way too, which we can get it, you know, that gets into the Peterson thing of like,

what is the limitless lack is limitation, which is like necessary to have a story. If you don't have

a limitation of some sort, there's no story effectively. And we can't even comprehend something

that's, that's without story. So in this, this idea of contention necessary to compose a static structure,

I've been doing this workout with this, this guy and it's called functional patterns,

fitness. And he describes how the body itself, actually, the upright stance and our ability to

move is purely because we have this dynamic

tension in the body. We have like this myofascial webbing that like binds the whole skeleton

together, but the skeleton is also pushing out, you know, with equal force. And so it's just pulling in

and pushing out force, this dynamic balance between them,

it lets us move, right? And so I'm reminded here, second law of thermodynamics, whole universe is

tending towards greater entropy. Life is the only anti-entropic force, right? It's the clock

that's running up, whereas everything else is

running down. And so this is, it's like it's everywhere, right? It's predator and prey dynamics.

You know, you have population growing. You have predators eating it. The confluence of those two

factors sharpens evolution, right?

Sharpenes fitness over time.

You have supply and demand, sharpening itself in the price.

And I wonder if that doesn't get into good and evil.
