Why didn’t Fender (and other guitar + amp makers) make specific amps to go with specific guitars?

Example: “we know the Jazz master is new and weird, but we also made this specific amp that is voiced to bring out the best of it….”

Of course, I can anticipate all the replies saying because we all like to experiment by mixing and matching— I’m one of those players!

But I do wonder what the platonic ideal amp would be when paired to specific guitar’s pick ups, scale length, etc.

I could even see a cool alternate universe where there is both a black panel and tweed example for each kind of amp + guitar combo

Now > Here: why do Eckhart’s teachings focus more on the now (time) than the here (space)?

The reason for my question is that I have spent a lot of time thinking about physics, in addition to trying to experience physics through inquiry and meditation.

Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, etc., have all established that space-time is actually a unified fabric (and not two separate dimensions).

To try to answer my own question:
My guess is because Eckhart has emphasized that the body is the vehicle for awakening. He has said that “we enter the body in order to realize that we are not the body,” so my guess is that the body is more tied to the here and the mind is more tied to now…

What do you think/feel/intuit?
Why would Eckhart (who I respect tremendously) focus more on Now and the dimension of time more than Here and the dimension of space?

5:2 Dry fasting (prihatin) + ITIS Diet = best I've felt in 3 years

Has anyone tried either?

More info:

  1. dry fasting

5:2 dry fasting (so no food or water) on Mondays and Thursdays has its roots in Islam and Subud via a practice called "prihatin"
I was already fasting with water only for 24 hours one day a week for most of the last three years.
However, I have found that by abstaining from food for 24 hours those 2 days and then not drinking water from 8am to 8pm both days the inflammation is the lowest I've ever experienced the next morning.

  1. ITIS

ITIS Diet recommended by my rhuematologist (from the Arthritis Foundation)

https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/anti-inflammatory/itis-a-supercharged-mediterranean-diet-for-ra

The biggest difference I've noticed was when I cut out added table salt, which surprised me.

Just sharing in case this helps anyone else.
