Itâs part of our shared, universal, human experience. Itâs been with us since the very beginning, itâs as old as fire. The Greeks discovered it. Modern Philosophy was invented, in part, to study it. In the absence of hunting and gathering and the need to survive old-school-style, in this post-industrial age of communication and virtual everything, it’s more ubiquitous and relevant than ever. But still, nobody really knows what it is or why itâs a thing. Nobody can say with certainty why humansâSubject Athletesâ are compelled to push their Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Emotional limits without causation. Until now. Kinda.
In partnership with Specialized Bicycles, CLIF, Wahoo Fitness and several other concerned brands, the Corps of Discovery aka Yonder Projects, a part of the Mythical State Of, made a science documentary to finally answer the question: Whatâs the deal with endeavors and sports and activities commonly referred to as Type 2 or âLatent Funâ˘? We interviewed Scientists, Rabbis, Nutritionists, Anthropologists, Jungian Dream Therapists, etc., we experimented on a control group of Subject Athletes while they trained and raced the Dirty Kanza 200, the worldâs premier Sucks Event, we went over-budget and past-deadline in the making of this movie, we did everything we could to figure it out. And now weâre about to share what we learned with you.
