This is a gem, I'm glad I read the whole thing. But the real gem is learning about Ryle and the book "The Concept of mind" which sounds very interesting that I'll add to my read-list

I tried Ozempic for three months, gradually increasing the dose monthly. Then, on the fourth month, I switched to Mounjaro and continued it for five months. It did help me lose weight, but the discomfort in my upper left abdomen turned into pain. It felt like the food I ate was still in my stomach, undigested, even four days later. I eventually stopped because I was worried it might have harmed my pancreas. A year later, I still occasionally experience the same abdominal pain. but doctor didn't didn't see pancreas issue. I It did help with my blood sugar management(diabetes) and weight though, but ill never do it again and stick to IF

I dont use react professionally(vanilla) but its ideas of one way data binding and UI is a function of state have continuously been helpful in building predictable apps that doesnt grow too hairy. an app can still grow in complexity as it becomes bigger but the ideas definitely help
