I used to work in the oil fields in East Texas. It would be 100+ degrees outside and I would be digging with a shovel in bluejeans, combat boots, a long sleeve shirt, and hardhat on.
I became so acclimatized to the heat that when we drove from one field to another, in a truck with no AC, the 100+ degree wind blowing in through the windows would cause goosebumps to pop up on me.
The human body is remarkably adaptable. And we spent the vast majority of our species' lifetime in hot, tropical locations.
Humans actually have the most sophisticated biological cooling system in the animal kingdom. Something that doesn't get near enough notice in our evolutionary history. There are a few scientists that have both pointed this out and proven theories based on it in the field.
But they are in the minority compared to their colleagues.
The average summer temperature here is 70 degrees.
Unbelievably, I sweat like fuck in it. Even behind my knees.
I would literally die in 100+ degrees. Or 81 degrees.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
