Humans aren't, and are still not, designed for sitting in an office staring at a fucking screen for hours a day. Before there was anything, we were all hunters / gatherers, and thus, daily and routinely partaking in some form of physical activity.
Real world, recent example: Wife and I are very active / involved with candle pin bowling here. A LOT, in fact, most of the seniors in my city / area bowl regularly. There are men who bowl, who you would swear are 20 years OLDER than my father, yet they are actually 10+ years younger than him.
I ask these guys what they did for a living. Most worked at the shipyard / VIA rail / sugar refinery. The worked their shifts, came home, ate, and sat in front of the TV with some beer.
My dad ran the economic development / management field for the phone company here. Sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Came home every night to supper, and then out in the yard, redoing a bedroom, building a deck, etc. He, even now @ 77 and triple by pass 5 years ago, does not stop.
I've been to a lot of bowler funerals over the last 10 years.
Proof is in the pudding they say.
And there is this philosophy as well:
To be truly pure to yourself, you must master both the mind and body. The Fibonacci Sequence applied to yourself.
You can be a body building, non fast food eating, 2% body fat, bill of incredible health person, and be a racist fucktard.
You can have the heart of gold, help anyone whenever you can, have a higher intellect, give the shirt off your back ; but you eat McDicks 3 times a week, and your fridge is all processed crap.
Excellent takes.
