The puzzle of human evolution, of human health, how are we doing as a species?
Almost any puzzle worth its name has a linchpin type of “catch”… that doesn’t look anything worth exploring.

Whether it is physical puzzle or a mental puzzle, it has one catch…
In my growth I have faced and solved many puzzles.
- The solution didn’t befall me like magic.
- I wasn’t shown the solution to any of those.
- I had to solve them, piecemeal, one by one.
The only things that got me through are
- curiosity
- the ability to detach
- enough misery for an army

The ability to detach is a spiritual/DNA capacity, and even when it is turned on by yours truly, some people turn it off.
Just to be clear: there are thousands of things in the DNA that can be turned on or turned off, active or inactive. This is, I think, the basis for evolution. Without this there would be no evolution, no personal growth, no evolving…
