It's not about optimizing (although I understand that someone might think so, given the forum), it's more about pushing the right buttons that our nature has.

It's not about optimizing (although I understand that someone might think so, given the forum), it's more about pushing the right buttons that our nature has. I'll give you an example that has happened to me several times, I have friends who work out 3 times a week and don't understand why they don't lose their pear shape. The answer is: Do HIT and weights too! Each type of exercise develops one of the various perspectives our physical nature has in the same way that each type of mental exercise develops one of the various mental capacities we have. You can't be in good mental shape if, for example, you only do chess. Of course it is a great and beautiful exercise, but someone should remind you that your brain has other needs that must be satisfied.
