I appreciate seeing this post here! I am very interested in this sort of topic, generally.
I’m confused why the post has such a low karma score. If nothing else, it seems like a useful reference for human anatomy.
One thing this post suffers from is, like, it’s overwhelming for a noob to look at. Personally I’d much rather just hire someone to teach me all this in person, if at all possible.
That said, it still seems like a great reference for parts of human anatomy, and it contains a very interesting hypothesis. I wish LessWrong talked more about this stuff, as it seems very important for humans and how humans think.
Writing about anything RE: biology, life, anatomy, etc. seems difficult because it’s all very 3D in nature, and it’s best to have good visualizations. Which are not always available. That said, I am grateful that you put all this together. It seems like it took a lot of work. And I hope to see more in the future.
Thank you for your comments. I was aiming to keep this anatomy post short and simple but that doesn’t happen with words and anatomy (but it should be comprehensive and hopefully thought provoking)…
I would very much appreciate feedback (harsh is fine if required!)
Is it an easier introduction? Does it help??
What makes sense? What clicks? What seems like waffle?!
Any images that work well? Any that are just confusing? Anything you’d like to see?
Would help understanding? Where have I gone wrong?
I’m struggling to judge the level to pitch things at. “palpate the anatomical structures” v. “touch yourself”.
If you can find someone with a grounding in anatomy, get them consider these 5 muscles and how they use them for a while and then maybe they could teach you in person? I am very much in the “you can do it yourself” camp - it’s all about feeling and personal experience but I can appreciate that guidance would be useful!

I’ve put together this post − 5 main muscles made easy.
