    obviously you should keep your body healthy but modern "lifting" culture is a massive meme and an even bigger circlejerk.

      Extremely vague and has different cutoffs for different people. A morbidly obese person can claim he/she is "healthy" based solely on the fact that he/she hasn't had a stroke or infarction yet.

      Because you have only a specific space and time to occupy and you should seek to make that as esthetically pleasing as you can in all ways. This includes moral action, intellectual development, personal relationships, the works you create and also your physical body. I'm sure other categories as well.

        To be fair cognition and other higher order functions are performed exclusively by the brain. Rest of the nerves are merely for sensory input and motor output, and theoretically can be replaced.

          You are theoretically a dumb ass homosexual. If you think the higher order functions aren't entirely cogent on the existence of the lesser functions. You're asking to become a p-zombie.

            I didn't misrepresent your argument, I flat out told you that you conflated your narcissism of the mind with qualia, which extends far beyond the capacities of the brain alone. The gut brain for example is an extremely complex and central organism that also holds "memories" not unlike your brain. Your sense of self *is* the sum of your parts you stupid p-zombie.

            Please stop pretending you know anything about the "gut brain" or rather the enteric autonomic nervous system. Sufficiently advanced technology is entirely capable of replicating it anyway.
            >p-zombie
            Again, you need to stop throwing around well-established philosophical concepts just because they sound cool in your head. I already know you're an ESL, do you want to be known as a pseud too? A conscious brain in a jar is the exact opposite of a p-zombie.

            That brain isn't conscious in that state, it's merely alive. You fricking moron, when you lay down and close your eyes, do you automatically equate that into being in some kind of "brain state" because you're not consciously drawing attention to your surroundings? You're doing so anyways through touch, sound, smell etc. A brain in a jar, if it could think, would live an utterly hellish existence and would be more comparable to a monster than a human.

            Still not a p-zombie, though. Friendly advice, learn about underlying concepts before using terms, otherwise you end up looking stupid. Cheers.

            You're not "conscious" if you are both unaware of your surroundings and your sense of self, though looking back I doubt you possessed qualia in the first place.

            A brain in a jar is not a p-zombie simply because it does not meet the definition

            A brain in a jar necessarily lacks an original nature because almost everything that was once essential to the owner of said brain is gone. If the brain in such a state is alive, it is *functionally* a copy with memories and thoughts you once held, but it is no longer what you once were.

    Yes.

    Particularly, the hotter, and the more arid, that an individual is, the higher the humourizing & humidifying rate of engagement is required for syncordant excellence of, and optimal synergy between, body, mind, spirit: such proactivity lends itself especially to universal mediation.

    Exercising will shorten your lifespan to a considerable margin. If you want to look big and die young, be my guest. In order to live to 100-120 years you need to minimize movement (don’t move) and
    minimize stress on the immune system. (don’t get sick)
    Don’t drink too much water or do anything that leads to increased water uptake. Don’t live in a super low humidity environment. Don’t do anything that may cause you to stress. Don’t do anything that makes you breathe heavily or that raises your heart rate (minimize water intake)
    Anything that requires you to breathe through your mouth or causes you to use your lungs excessively, you must avoid. This is primarily exercise.

    Don’t be fat or have muscle mass. Only have minimal muscle mass for survival.

    Anything that requires you to increase your metabolism is bad. You should have a low metabolism and a low caloric expenditure. Low energy expenditure is good since it means you have to eat less thus you use less of your digestive system. Ideally you should eat very little but at the same time do not starve yourself. That causes stress on the body which will shorten your lifespan.

    Try to live a stress-free life. All the optimal longevity advice boils down to do not stress your body. The body wants to be lazy and conserve its energy. Let it do so.

    Thats why leisurely aristocrats lived longest throughout history.
