I don’t think it’s one or the other; I believe there are gradients of tempo within subsistence, and that some of the most profound wisdom comes from high-tempo adversity.

I have not. I’m so behind on reading…I get most of my reading done between sets at the gym or on the toilet. Right now I’m finishing up “Eyes of the Dragon,” by Stephen King. I’ve read it a few times before, but I’m studying it now for sentence structure and flow. 🙂
