Every adult you know has lost what every seven-year-old has for free. Squatting for hours in the dirt. Hanging from things. Sitting cross-legged through a whole movie. None of it was exceptional — it was the baseline specification of the species you belong to.

This episode is about the trade civilization quietly made with your body. Schools, offices, cars, phones, furniture, shoes — all real gifts. The bill was small and daily and invisible. You paid with the squat. You paid with the hang. You paid with the ability to sit on the floor. And the cruellest part isn't the loss — it's that you stop being the self that ever had it.

In this episode we break down why what we call "aging" is mostly decades of disuse wearing its costume, why your body responds faster than it has any right to when you start patiently reclaiming what you stopped asking of it, and why this isn't construction — it's archaeology. The body you had at seven is still in there.

Where the hell have you been.
