Maybe we underestimate how quickly a country can spiritually recover from warfare. A country like Ireland has a depressing history of colonisation through no fault of our own. Despite the economic booms Ireland's pre-independence culture seems a bit unrelatable. Likewise who knows how cohesive Europe would be in an alternate universe if we avoided both world wars. So maybe mental illness might be higher than natural if we contrasted our countries to the serenity of Asia. Asians have had longer periods of peace-time than the west even if it could be circular with a higher emphasis on meditation in Asia. "Japan, 1600–1800 A.D.: The Edo period, also known as the Tokugawa period, is a time of relative peace and stability, following centuries of warfare and disruption." https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ht/09/eaj.html

I've to wear a belt when I go walking at night in shorts and t-shirts because my fingers become too numb to rebutton my trousers!

Overweight people have more natural insulation and are thus better at withstanding the cold than thin people only if overweight people tried to withstand the cold. Thin people can overcome the cold by hyperfocusing on body tone. Blood is very warm and so the more blood you have the more you can pump it to your extremities when cold. The dilemma for overweight people is that they're technically fitter at pumping a larger volume of blood around their body only if they practiced a lot.

Unlike training schedules climactic stress can occur throughout the day for a lifetime. As such slight differences between climates can make a big difference in physicality over many years. Maybe obese people would benefit from visiting hotter climates on holiday. For example a trip to north Africa would help your breathing focus more than a trip to north France.

Scandanavian countries tend not to be obese because no amount of clothing can escape the chill of the snow. Mountainous regions in Europe can passively benefit in stamina from the thinner air even if they're not on a par with Kenyan distance runners. As such obesity is epidemic only in temperate climates and low landscapes like Britain and a lot of North America.

If the air is less dense then there'll be less oxygen at ground level even if the ratio of chemicals in the air remains the same. Those in colder climates can breathe in such perfect air that there's a risk of complacency.

People in hot countries can still have problems with obesity but are collectively far thinner than those in colder climates. Yet heat isn't just infrared radiation where the air is also made thinner. As such the citizens in hotter countries must be cardiovascularly fit simply to breathe less oxygenated air. "Most people are comfortable with a relative humidity level of 30-50 percent. Higher levels are uncomfortable because there's too much moisture in the air, making people sweaty and unable to cool down." https://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/atmospheric/question651.htm

People might be overweight due to poor breathing rather than a lack of exercise.

People in hot countries cannot opt of the heat when they walk outside. By contrast those in cold countries can wrap themselves with multiple layers of clothing. As such colder climates are at a bigger risk of obesity when every climate could be viewed as equally challenging. For example wearing shorts and tshirts on a cold day is no more uncomfortable than being forced to withstand roaching temperatures. Embracing the cold can force you to vividly imagine the opposite gender for the illusion of mere body heat! The harsh reality is that people are prone to underestimate their body's capacity to resist the cold when hypothermia and frost bite aren't much of a threat in a temperate region. The cold can help you to breathe more deeply if your chest only has light clothing.

Single people are more prone to depression! Suicidal married people must only claim to be anxious and not depressed! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=21HM5dTiqiM Texas - Inner Smile

Randomness is the opposite of determinism as we see in the physics debate between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. Likewise a random word salad is the opposite of obsessive actions or thoughts. It might be a bit of a risk to solve one problem by creating another. Nonetheless OCD patients obsessed with patterns of touch might benefit from taking a risk through chaotic movements.

Being thin might help breathing muscle proprioception for the diaghragm. Moving your chest for ventilation takes up proportionately more of your body size for thin people. Different weight categories are separated not only by leg weight but also by breathing efficiency. Feeling hungry might seem pointless from a meterialistic perception when compared to a car needing oil to go faster. Yet fasting can help put focus on joint, breathing and digestive perseverance even if weight isn't lost. Losing or gaining a drastic amount of weight might be an aggravating factor in chronic pain conditions when leg balance and breathing rhythms are interfering with each other.

Restaurant food is cooked by a professional and might always taste nicer than home food. As such ordering healthy food in restaurants would make it easier to eat healthier at home. There's no harm in the odd indulgence in fast food at restaurants. Yet ordering too many burgers at restaurants would then make fast food more tempting for home dishes. The dilemma is that restaurants can be seen as a form of recreation if someone eats out seldomly. Yet there might be more reward to choose heathy dishes from the menu for those who eat out rarely. I've tried to desensitise myself to porridge through jams and fruit by ordering it frequently for breakfast at a restaurant:

Psychosis isn't contagious but there's a slight risk of accidental aggravation of symptoms if diverging psychotic patients are exposed to each other's state of mind. Mental health hospitals can still be helpful in reminding psychotic patients that they're not alone in feeling the world is strange. Yet home stays for psychotic patients might sometimes be more relaxing for a few of them if a hospital is too crowded. As such involuntary confinement mightn't always be the best option if a patient is in remission and isn't homeless. Needless to say temporary overnight breaks at a relative's house is an alternative way to break up long stays in a psychiatric ward.

A comet has a larger atmosphere where buoyancy might mimic a local gravity source for detaching ice: "a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust and, when near the sun, a ‘tail’ of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun." An asteroid rotating around the central origin of the asteroid's interior rather than just the asteroid's gradual orbit around the Sun.

We can afford circular styles of argumentation when we're discussing actual circles!

Maybe the relative sideways component of an upward throw would return like a boomerang in such a way the flight path still appeared vertical to someone on the ground of an asteroid. Or just imagine if there was more atmosphere on one side of an asteroid compared to the other where the asteroid rotated faster and slower in semi-circular intervals.

An object in circular motion that gets released will fly off in a straight line owing to Newton's first law. So an object thrown almost vertically and slightly diagonally upwards from a thin, flat rotating asteroid might appear to be travelling outwards to the edge of the asteroid. This is on account of the fact that the centripetal velocity is faster on the outer edges of an asteroid compared to the interior. As such the faster outer edge will catch up to the thrown object where the object appears to fall to the ground. QED! Someone moving on a circular path cannot infer the straightness of a tangent as they're not standing still. After all a circle and a straight line are perceptually irreconcilable due to the infinite digits of pie. Likewise an object thrown upwards on an asteroid will appear to have a different trajectory between the perspectives of an astronaut on the ground of the asteroid and an astronaut floating in space.

I closed my eyes out of sensory dissociation while I stuttered to a waiter. Speaking as if you were in a world of your own can sometimes be a solipsistic rather than shameful countermeasure to stuttering. "People who stutter may be attempting to protect themselves from seeing a listener reaction. If so, they are mind reading, or presuming to know the reaction of the listener. It is often associated with guilt and shame over one’s stuttering." https://www.stuttering-specialist.com/post/more-than-meets-the-eye-contact-averting-eye-contact

A really evil person can never be humble by expressing such intense hatred of others. As such the concept of humility is a great deterrent to immoral and evil people. Moreover humility is closely connected to forgiveness even without reference to Christianity. A humble person simply doesn't view their own pain as being worse than the pain felt by others. After all everyone will eventually be confronted with the pain of death. This helps to forgive people who've inflicted pain on others by reminding people that criminals aren't as bad as the nazis. However the trouble with humility is that it's a virtue that can be used by both moral and amoral people. Ethical people who espouse humility might run the risk of false humility in concealing rather than removing pride. Yet amoral people are also confronted with the risk of false humility in being humble about ethics rather than to be ethical about humility. In other words certain amoral people might appear humble to even worse evil people by not expressing pride in the fundamental need to be ethical. Yet this defeats the purpose of humility when it's still meant to be expressed in a friendly rather than aggressive way. Hence if we took false humility seriously then it could manifest in multiple contradictory ways. Good people are still meant to be very proud of helping others without being self-righteous about it and without being inordinately proud of other areas of their life. Being proud of doing good might be a lesser evil for the need to defend against actual evil people.

I was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum but I can be very extroverted only when I'm too angry. If ask "how are you" then I'm being sarcastic! If I give someone on the street the thumbs up then I've something violent in my mind! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C6jgBRRHPw4 Clive Cobb Jail Scene Rush Hour

Apathy as a form of humility might only work if people are deferential to less apathetic people. Otherwise the most apathetic people would become the leaders. This becomes relevant if we're criticising communist styles of humility. An authority figure often isn't very humble but still isn't condescending.

Deep down I I might not believe in humility at all! It's just that I'm not good enough at anything and have no choice but to present myself in a humble way!

No one said you'd to express emotions when describing pain. You can simply use intensifiers in a relaxed voice(!): Hot teapot - Dougal in Fr Ted Sometimes you can be very stoic in not caring at all about embarrassment in deference to the apathetic dominance of masculinity(!): Tropic Thunder - Jack Black Slow-mo

Every individual Euler force has a tiny effect on gravity. Yet what if we combined every single Euler factor together from atmospheric pressure to equatorial bulge? Maybe there are so many diverse and invisible Euler forces that when combined would remove the need to view gravity as action at a distance. For example without gravity a person jumping straight up on small boat that's sailing over small waves would mean that their feet would land backwards on a crest or forwards on a descending trough. The boat's surface would accelerate upwards and catch your feet as a little wave would accelerate some parts of the boat more than others. Moreover the rear and front of the boat would overhang the wave at different times. "At latitudes nearer the Equator, the outward centrifugal force produced by Earth's rotation is larger than at polar latitudes. This counteracts the Earth's gravity to a small degree – up to a maximum of 0.3% at the Equator – and reduces the apparent downward acceleration of falling objects... The second major reason for the difference in gravity at different latitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge... In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator." "A person flying at 9,100 m (30,000 ft) above sea level over mountains will feel more gravity than someone at the same elevation but over the sea." "In air or water, objects experience a supporting buoyancy force which reduces the apparent strength of gravity (as measured by an object's weight)."
