Don't trust "Surface level analysis"; trust "Deeper level analysis."

(Surface level analysis (SLA) is basically looking at 2 or more things, and if they're true, while ignoring every single other variable; whereas Deeper level analysis (DLA) is looking at 2 or more things, and if they're true, while acknowledging and considering other variables.)

SLA is not a good thinking mentality.

When thinking, you shouldn't look at what would happen in a vacuum; you should look at what would happen as a whole. (AKA consider other variables.)

Here's an example of SLA VS DLA thinking:

[SLA >] "To become a good competitor, you must dedicate your life to practicing as much as possible: 10 hours a day at least! The one who works the hardest succeeds!"

[DLA >] "To become a good competitor, you should practice a few hours a week, while going to school; having a job; taking breaks; as well as just enjoying life - that way, you stay healthy and avoid burn-out; tilt; and decrease in play-quality, as well as recover faster from those things, too. Work *well*; not *hard*."

On SLA, the first statement is true. However, on DLA, the second one is true.

In that example, DLA showed the problem with dedicating your life to practicing: Your health will become worse, thus you will play worse and worse.

SLA would not have been able to showcase why working *well* is a lot more efficient than working *hard*, as SLA doesn't consider other variables. (i.g. one's health.)

TL;DR: Don't look at things in a vacuum; look at things as a whole.

Sure. A human can live, under the right circumstances, at least 150 years

Ah. Also good to know. Though the mythology freak side of me really wants to go on a rant about people who claim to have lived longer.

I said at least, do more is...possible ig? On the other hand to accomplish what i said, u would need to be happy Ur whole life, which is kind of impossible ig

Problem is, one some level the Deeper Level Analysis is also most likely superficial. ;)

Surface level: The color is green

Deeper level: blah blah blah this that and the other ducks eagles codons rods cones iris radiation spectrum blah blah this that and the hoysey

Without knowing about those things, I already knew that DLA is better than SLA.

Hey hey, they were Symbionese!
