“This hegemonic idea of wellness has, however, zero intellectual substance. Once upon a time, people who spoke Latin used to say “mens sana in corpore sano”, which meant at least that a healthy mind was as important as a healthy body, and sometimes that the whole point of having a healthy body was to have a healthy mind. But we live in the age, instead, of the official promotion of “mindfulness”, the aim of which is to calm the mind to a state of bovine acceptance, where nary a thought will trouble it. The modern idea of wellness is opposed to deep thinking. Instead it encourages us all to become happily stupid athletes of capitalist productivity.”
