I wonder what you think of this: Paul R Ehrlich, Daniel T Blumstein, The Great Mismatch, BioScience, Volume 68, Issue 11, November 2018, Pages 844–846, https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biy110
This is spot on. It's a nice condenses version of the kinds of work highlighted in chapter 2 of Our Tribal Future. Mismatch is the core theory that underpins most suffering today.
In my work I describe the biomechanics of the body’s maladaptive response to mismatch as postural collapse syndrome. We can observe this at every major juncture of the body, not just the jaw. We can also use this awareness, by consciously reversing the imbalance, as a resource for adaptive responses and resilience in the face of mismatch. This is the essence of my project in Prosocial Embodiment.
I wonder whether you find that lack of supportive community affects movement levels and quality? This is something that can be measured with a great deal of granularity.
I suppose it would depend on the norms and values of the community. That being said, more people likely leads to more movement in general. A good hypothesis to test!
Have you ever considered the effect of environmental mismatch on human movement? People may move more freely while seated in automobiles and planes in modern society but do they move more freely in their bodies and in their communities? Epidemiological research on sedentarism, formally called the global physical inactivity pandemic, links it directly with the gamut of lifestyle diseases including emotional and cognitive effects. I enjoyed your interview on Prosocial Commons from a while ago but I wondered about this point.
