yet can't take 30 minutes a day to exercise"

One of the most profound things I've read on youtube, and I agree, except for cases of disability/disorders which make it impossible or extremely difficult to exercise

I agree for the most part (and I'm no exception), but to be fair, when you're watching something you're being directly entertained. Exercise is making an effort and missing out on other things you'd like to do.

Cause I'm too busy watching videos to bother doing any exercise.

I mean, 30 minutes of exercise? 10ish more minutes is one episode of The Flash that I'm currently watching. And seeing him run at Mach 1 is the same as me running myself.

no, I totally get that. but to me, exercise is like brushing your teeth or showering. It's just something that needs to get done.

Instinctively the body only wants to only move as much as it has to, that is just part of basic survival in nature

Also I think theres a lot to the addage that a body in motion stays in motion the opposite is true as well though. Regular fitness is habit forming once you get the ball rolling but being lazy is just as much of a habit until you do. They might think about how they need physical activity all the time but theyve gotten into the habit of not doing much and people generally stick to routines.

There are better ways to get exercise without needing anything boring like a gym. But for the most part I'd say let natural selection do its job. If people wanna be blobs then nothing is going to change that. If you'd, I dunno, like to see your feet once in a while then don't stay on the couch all day.

Overlooking that you can exercise and watch videos, it's not like the two activities really correlate anyway. Watching videos is extremely low intensity (basically the only requirement is you have to stay awake) whereas somebody might be tired from working all day so the last thing they want is to go for a jog, etc.

heart disease

Yes, but we've basically proven that human brains are somewhat incapable of feeling future consequences on a visceral level - the part of the brain that reacts to your own future circumstances is the same part of the brain that triggers for other people, rather than the part of your brain that triggers for things involving you. In other words, your brain thinks of "Future You" as someone completely different. Heart disease isn't your problem, it's Future You's problem.

And fuck Future You - that guy is an asshole.

So for most people, short term gratification will always trump short term suffering for theoretical future gains. Especially when there's also the possibility that you'll work hard to stay healthy and still get cancer, or get hit by a bus, or basically fail in any number of ways that render your short-term sacrifices completely meaningless (and then you'll just be a bitter old person regretting you didn't enjoy yourself more in your youth, if you're still alive at all).

I'd respect your choice more if you said that you just don't want to, tbh. it's time to stop with the excuses!

no, I totally get that, which is why I laid out my exceptions in the first post.

Spend years of your life in constant pain and self torment in order to stave off the inevitable, all the while gaining the worst years of your life.

Or live an enjoyable life. Die happy, and not resort to shitting yourself and being abused by people who are underpaid to clean your ass for you.



getting healthy improves your current quality of life.

Well, it's not like I can exercice during the time I spend watching videos. Actually, I shouldn't be doing neither, but it's way easier to not get caught watching videos.

You better hope it does. If I live long enough to leave spawns behind, the human race is doomed. XP

Why are you surprised that people find longterm cost benefit analysis vs short term gratification hard? It's like the story of humanity.
