live life retrospectively

instead of making decisions based on your subjective feelings in the moment, instead make decisions based on what you think you would've wanted yourself to have done, looking back on this moment in the future. 

think back on an awkward or embarassing memory. the decision was probably made in the moment. what if you instead had thought, how would I want myself to have reacted, as my future self?

thinking retrospectively puts you in the third person perspective, watching yourself from the outside. it could make daily life easier and more straightforward if you feel like you're being actively coached by yourself from the future, and the decisions you currently know you like when you make. 

geology and geochemistry

Geology is the chemistry when traditional 'solids' instead intertwine and act as/are liquids instead. Simple chemistry nonetheless. Correlation: gas flows like a liquid, as when cold fronts come rushing down valleys.

Phases of matter all basically do the same things if put in the right scenario. They're not very different at all. Spectrum from solids/least interactive to gases/most interactive.
