I once walked nearly as far as a typical brown bear in a day (~10 hr). This feels like so far away right now. I can't even walk up hill to the dumpster ~200ft away.I did it once, I can do it again.This map gives me hope: https://t.co/HHdMoyS0kI
Been using these crutches to pretend I am a bear.It helps encourage me to practice for when I'll need them next.https://t.co/JClkSPMLGIHigh recommend them if you are 6ft tall bear person. :3https://t.co/H3oVqy7exG

TIL only 3 humans have completed a known human-powered circumnavigation of the globe (No sails, etc: pedals/rowing) 1. Jason Lewis and Stewie Smith, 1994—2007, travelling 74,842km (46,505 mi) 2. Erden Eruç, 2007—2012, travelling 66,299 km (41,196 mi) https://t.co/uMkgBI1pXR
If I lose my arms and legs, I'm going to learn how to propel myself with really aggressive farts, and float cross the ocean like a manatee.https://t.co/Nierbg3xdK
Or a sloth experiencing something akin to Crohn's disease associated anal retentiveness.Witches float, you see... https://t.co/rTJcYJCHYf

@davidasinclair Back in September I literally had to crawl to the bathroom (and bought crutches), basically sleeping for 18-24 hours & chronically fatigued. And now I'm balancing on one leg no problem, and am awake most of the day.Improvement coincides with when bears come out of hibernation.
"Gray imagined a person who might have rivalled the power and acclaim of the poet John Milton. Yet, the person was mute and did not achieve glory because chance and circumstance prevented the emergence of his or her greatness." https://t.co/G8qosjhWD8https://t.co/ZtjK7fCU7z
I want to be the first human in modern times to achieve verifiable hibernation. But only because no one else seems to be trying.https://t.co/bkNkqYAq8l
My greatest dreams involve being forgotten because my ideas outlive me.https://t.co/kSsLQtvm6F

Mimetic Rivalry can be used to become stronger.I want to out run Jamie Mantzel.He was 1998 All-American for Distance Medley Relay.'brown bears' https://t.co/iOfGSWAbWGhttps://t.co/liEoJ1M03X https://t.co/eozMs8ipQm
I (was) creating an amalgam of the best traits of all the cool people I meet on here and then pretend this figment of my imagination is my mimetic rival. Then I think of ways of becoming better than this entity. More kind, more caring, more thoughtful, more creative.

David Goggins made me discover mimetic rivarly, which is quite a beast He calls this technique "taking souls". Worth hearing his experience. He used it to go far beyond his known physical limits Want to merge insights of practitioners and researchers on important ideas someday
My hero is a builder.He told me how to overcome obstacles.To have faith, and not give up. To believe in what I can do.https://t.co/U18dAkNs8u
Goggin's found power in rejecting other people's doubt. There is wisdom there.Sometimes the strongest doubter of your own abilities is yourself.Tell yourself to fuck off.https://t.co/Yp2tCJiWKY
If your soul is broken, fix it.Heal yourself. Become gilded.https://t.co/3mRuEIaym6
Are you broken beyond repair? Full of holes?Maybe you were meant to be a sieve, to filter out the detritus of life. Learn how to use a Saruca.Maybe you'll find the diamond in the rough.https://t.co/tbL1BuPoRL
I saw a challenge, and like Goggins I started calculating.It will take about six months to walk across the country.https://t.co/eI4L80r49x
"if I divide this project into a thousand pieces can i do at least one per day?yeah I think so.is any one of those thousand pieces going to be impossible?no."Get started.https://t.co/stZpkg556x

The stuff that I've said in my tweets are insane.My list of shitpost miracles keeps growing.https://t.co/g61oZe8VkT https://t.co/rJVeG00n8h
I can run. I feel uncoordinated and my arms and legs feel a bit like clay while doing it, but I can sprint short distances.https://t.co/zJRgMqEqT1
@Grimhood I ran partly up a hill yesterday. About 600ft distance and 3 stories of height (~30 feet elevation). Would have ran the whole thing but my friend's pants were falling down.Last fall I could barely make it a 3rd of way before my legs fatigued and I had to stop (while walking).
