I'm sure people who supplement or have good D levels also take care of themselves, generally - because they know D is one of the supplements that make a difference both somatic and psychological.
". . . whose specifications are static and solid."
Well, thats the problem with software. There isn't agreement of such specifications. We aren't working with wood, nails nor forming a sill footing on bedrock.
We assimilate into ourselves different forms of structure from each, whether biological or semiotic. Each structure, biomolecules or language, equip us to model and navigate our environment, and persist a bit longer.
Life thrives when its cellular membranes (and bodily boundaries to an extent) are awash in structural microdiversity of friendly chemicals (aka nutrients). More access to structural microdiversity means more ability to navigate complex environments, more ability to choose from the surrounding otherness and decide what gets to cross inside your boundary and become tomorrow's you, tomorrows self.
Minds thrive similarly when immersed in diversity of thought and experience. (See Alex Pentland's Social Physics book) These things aren't as different as they might seem, if you cross your eyes and look at it abstractly like a universe might.
The universe doesn't really quibble between the information that my body "knows" through its structure, and the information my mind "knows" through language. Everything is made of information, and the structures of information that best prepare us for futures will persist :)
Do we? As examined in The Little Prince, people can get nutritions from pills and powders, factually humanity has made a culture out of food, much more than just getting nutritious
I read to be moved by a story, to feel with the characters, to get a sense of a different country or time or culture, to get a sense of possible futures, a sense of what it might mean to live another life, be bound by different constraints and experiences than my own, to experience another mind viewing the same world or imagining a totally different one, seldom to retain knowledge.
The interesting part about this quote is not the quote itself, which is blatantly false but feels good (how would it sound: "I cannot remember the tiktoks/tv series/comic books I have watched/read...: even so, they have made me"), but how much we succumb to authority.
If the patron of the local pub had delivered the quote in question, we would tell him to put down his tenth beer. But since it was said by an intellectual, who has nothing more to say on the matter than the patron mentioned above could say, we take it at face value.
". . . 'art' is about appropriation. Among its tenets, postmodernism suggests that no work of art or text is anything other than a reassembly of citations; thus, if all art is citations, all art is fair game to be cited."

IMHO, the best [individual] essay contains single paragraph/sentenced trasmissions that connect [or overhelm] the reader with impact at [the right] times.
At the same time, to strengthen the practice, make a statement and then follow with a question. Make the impact, leave the reader with a question back to it. It's two sentences, paragraph break.
Those are the best essays.
He practiced this technique many times in this article. But is this the format of best essays [of the Internet]?
