Ah shit that makes more sense then
I confess I (too) often find myself reflecting upon the great difference in technological advances vs our old caveman brains/bodies.
Why havenāt we as an organism evolved any further? Why the necessity to eat (or even train) in these developed times?

We have. Each generation of humans has been, on average, 15 IQ points higher over the past few generations (since itās been tracked). Weāve also gotten significantly taller in the past 100 years (speaking in terms of evolution).
The level of evolution at which we would have to evolve to match the evolution of our technology is impossible without an outside hand helping - in the same way we are helping technology evolve. Thereās a strong argument to be made that by evolving technology, it wonāt be long until we play a hand in our own evolution via the technology we are creating as well.
Cyborgs were science fiction, but we already have cell phones as slave(technical term) attachments of our bodies that help us be more efficient with everyday tasks. Soon it wonāt need these dumb bricks with screens to do it, and it will seem normalā¦

Other than the fact that our carts donāt hover, are we really that far off from this? Estimates are that 2/3 of the US population (or thereabouts) is already overweight.
Humanity as a species is going f**k itself into oblivion.

Itās honestly a great time to be a meathead: you have to do VERY little to stand head and shoulders above the crowd.

A while back my coworkers were using my level of ājackednessā to describe the physical state of another colleague of ours. Iām pretty modest so I had to remind them that someone more jacked than me isnāt exactly a high bar to clear, and that I probably wasnāt even the most jacked person in the restaurant we were in. I looked around, and, though itās always hard to tell when clothes are involved, I thought differently about my initial opinion. Slovenly bunch that day.

Itās even better when youāre 6ā3, a little bit of muscle goes a long way.
Maybe the pendulum is swinging the other way though, most of the students at my sonās high school i would say are more on the skinny end versus the ācorn-fedā end I grew up with.

I confess being hungry is SO much better than the food options at the airport Iām in right now.
I confess that fact makes me very sad.

I usually bring canned salmon and some fruit to eat at the airport before a long flight. That was my dinner before I flew to Germany this year. Safe travels!

I was willing to entertain the idea of cottage cheese cookies until you said ājamā. =)

I confess I hate fall.
It rains too much and thereās months of cold, dreary weather ahead
I also confess that I donāt get the spiritual/emotional feeling from nature or art. I like hiking and outdoor activities because theyāre a fun way to exercise
