Well just if anyone reads this , Liberman's point is that we are biologically programmed to NOT want to exercise unless there's a clear biological incentive - like getting food, or a social incentive - like a tribe participating in a dance or children playing. Since for millions of years we couldn't tell when the next calory of food would come - exercising for the heck of it was insanity and you wouldn't survive. You expended so many calories just gathering and hunting you mostly rested when you could.
So basically our biology does not fit into the world of calory abundance we live in.
- joe_mamba 8mo agoBecause the concept of exercise is a very modern and unnatural thing for humans. We've been moving all day to make a living for most of our history, only when we switched to sedentary desk jobs did we discover the need to do exercise to maintain our health, but that's like the past 50+ years compared to 50K year history of being hunter gatherers. It doesn't take a prestigious scientist to connect these dots.
