I love how people have wet dreams about living forever by uploading their mind to a computer but put absolutely 0 fucking effort actually increasing their health/life span in real life, and/or waste their days/week/years doing stuff they hate to "enjoy life" later (when their body is already half way rotten). As long as it's sci fi and they have 0 effort to provide they'll suck every single drop of hope but as soon as there is something actually actionable they recoil in horror imho if you're not lean and exercising every day you have no business talking about living longer, you've already refused the only magic pill there is. It makes all the difference between having one foot in the grave at 60 or still chopping your own fire wood at 80, and all it takes besides a bit of luck is to move your ass 45 minutes a day

There's no contradiction here. You're talking about people who have already detached the concept of self from their physical body. They think of 'me' as their brain, so why maintain the body they're 'trapped' in. People who try to solve all their problems with intellect tend to suffer from this. And many of them never learned that being in shape makes you feel a whole lot better.
