Imagine meeting an alien from another world that never needs to eat food, and telling them that humans have to eat every day. And that food isn’t just lying around in most places. The alien is incredulous: “sorry, it’s just too much to expect everyone to figure out how to eat multiple times a day. The logistics of that are insane. Every single person? Multiple times a day? I just don’t believe you.” How would you argue with that alien? It is kind of insane actually. The mechanism of society which brings about the miracle of “everyone eating food” day in and day out without interruption for generations should stretch any reasonable person’s credulity. And yet, here we are. It turns out that when things are necessary we don’t think of them as “hard,” we just do them. Now what if I told you that everything in life is equally possible—and in fact much less difficult—than making sure you eat every day? The only difference that you have a biological function reminding you to act every single second. It doesn’t even tell you how to act, it simply tells you to get up and do something. Your body drives your mind to action, and a whole complex machine grows up in response to accomplish it. You could have anything else you wanted as well if you could somehow act with the same voracious consistency.
