It's more than a "popular notion", it's a scientific theory with quite a bit of evidence behind it.
1. You're equating "brain health" with "brilliance", which aren't the same thing.
2. There's no reason to think that the above folks wouldn't have had even better brains if they had been able to move more.
3. Pretty much all modern biology contests the notion that our bodies are "just" vessels for our minds. Our gut alone has a significant impact on all sorts of mental states.
Don't confuse an outlier with a norm, or make claims without first trying to disprove a counterfactual.
- chrismmay 7y agoModern science cannot explain consciousness. I didn’t say the body was a vessel for the mind. I said it was a vessel for the soul. Time spent “moving” is time not spent solving the mental problems that those great minds are known for. Football players, fashion models, actors are always so smart because they exercise so much. /s
