Mad props to the folks who actually use their bodies. Mine is just this conduit for my brain. My fingers are for typing. My legs are for getting out of bed and going to the computer. My eyes are trained to screens.
But athletes, dancers, construction workers, gymnasts, linemen (?), fitness trainers, custodians, etc? Those are the people who are really doing it. They're the ones on the front lines of the fight against machines. They're shouting with their movements, they're saying "I am fully in control." I wish I had more grace and strength. The people who possess those qualities-- some come by them naturally, but even those people need to keep working, day in and day out, to maintain themselves.
I'm not talking about optimization. I'm not a machine. I'm talking about experiencing life with every facet you own. I'm talking about human bodies! Walt Whitman understood.
