Things are antifragile up to a certain level of stress. Your body benefits from some amount of mishandling. But up to a point. It would not benefit too much from being thrown down from the top of the Tower of Babel. — Nassim Taleb, author of Antifragile

OBOTH DUMB BELL X OTOTH UPSTAIRS HK BOTH ON DAYS OFF AM
Many people believe that weight training inevitably leads to joint breakdown and that pain and injuries are simply the cost of developing a fit body. But this is backward. Despite popular opinion, tendon breakdown and joint dysfunction can only be fixed by increasing the load tolerance of connective tissues. And how is that accomplished? Rest? Stretching? Antiinflammatories and injections? Nope. Only through load training. But it must be well planned and well executed. Your ability to choose the correct exercises, stabilize your joints, and perform movements effectively determines how your body responds to load-bearing training. If it breaks your body down, it’s because either your tissues are not prepared for the load volume or specific movements are creating unnatural stress on your musculoskeletal system

Dthing
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Against the fall of the night. Dth approaches
Smooth between sea and land
Is laid the yellow sand,
And here through summer days
The seed of Adam plays.
Here the child comes to found
His unremaining mound,
And the grown lad to score
Two names upon the shore.
Here, on the level sand,
Between the sea and land,
What shall I build or write
Against the fall of night?

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day. ~ Deepak Chopra

Science tends toward generalization. Cultural forms aspire to idealization, and often some perfection of form. There is a third story of awe we need to hear, the personal and first-person.

The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it. The streets of London have their map; but our passions are uncharted. • VIRGINIA WOOLF

Perhaps most pervasively, perceived threat also flavors experiences of awe, and can layer fear, uncertainty, alienation, and terror into our experience of the emotion. Perceptions of threat explain why people in certain cultures—feel more fear blended with awe when around inspiring people than people from less hierarchical cultures do

GLOBAL HEATING X MORE PRETERM BIRTHS
A 2020 meta-analysis of 70 studies from around the world found that while the evidence linking extreme heat and early births was "strongest and most consistent" for official heatwaves, cumulative heat over a person's entire pregnancy also increased their risk of having an early birth. In other words, hot days add up.

SAKSHI BHAV OR DRASHTA BHAV
A
Sakshi Bhava
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Sakshi bhava or drashta bhava is the ability to observe yourself and maintain that state of awareness continuously for a long time. It is the state where you are able to say, ‘I am observing myself, I am observing my behaviour, I am the witness of my karmas, I am the witness of my thoughts, I am the witness of my ambitions, I am the witness of every experience of mine’.
Again, the mind has to be trained to observe itself. There is a trick here. When you think, ‘I want to become quiet’, who is the one doing the thinking? It is the mind that is thinking. It is the same mind which is agitated and which desires peace and quietness. It seems to be a paradox that the nature of the mind is to be active and move all the time, but the desire of the mind is to be still.
You have to pick up on the desire of the mind, not the nature of the mind. That is the secret. If you identify with the mental movement, you will follow the trains of thought, wherever they take you. If you identify with the idea of peace, you hold yourself back and remain connected to that idea. You can observe the movement of the mind by being at one place. That is the drashta bhava or sakshi bhava.

Totally compatible.
Remember that “Science” is a process based on falsifiability, it is not a dogmatic position on anything. In science one always strives to keep an open mind and to accept all conclusions as provisional, and to adjust one’s theories according to the evidence produced.
A conflict arises in any religion when the Scriptures contradict Science. If one considers one’s scriptures as being “Divinely” revealed or inspired, this presents a particular cause of cognitive dissonance in believers.
Hindu philosophy does not suffer from this scripture versus empiricism dilemma.
In Hindu Philosophy we are instructed by our sages to follow the evidence and rational argument and to reject anything in our vast library of scriptures which contradicts empiricism and logic.
All the three greatest of Hindu Vedāntic philosophers agreed on this point of the primacy of evidence and reason over Scripture - while having other philosophic differences.
If fact the value of Scripture in the pursuit of true knowledge and wisdom has been deprecated in many verses - even the Bhagavad Gita itself ( one of the 3 foundational texts of VEDANTA philosophy.)
And astonishingly enough VEDANTA is even more compatible with Quantum Physics. One of the great pioneers of Quantum theory studied Vedanta and had a very high regard for it.

“Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be so shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome.

BK THERE ARE RIVERS IN THE SKY
“Grown ups are not good at masking their concerns, although they can hide their delights and curiosity surprisingly well. Whereas with children it is the other way round. Children can tactfully mute their anxiety and conceal their sorrow, but will struggle not to express their . This is what growing up means, in some simple way: learning to repress all expressions of pre happiness and joy.”
