Books vs Fitness

Do you really believe strength and intelligence are mutually exclusive?
Is this just jealousy from weak nerds who want to feel superior?
Or are physically smaller people really smarter than stronger people?

It's not weight or strength necessarily, but height. Manlets will pretend to read to appear as an intelligent weakling cliche, and thus at least vaguely fit in better.

Why not both? Its possible if you try and start to walk out of your room and stop eating chips

Smart people know how easy it is to stay moderately fit, I take it as a starting assumption that fat people especially are less critically engaged

There is no dichotomy, do what you want.

Weights do as much for above the neck as below. There is likely synergy

I think he means genetic pre-disposition, or whatever the science lackeys are calling it these days.
Your jab is still true, though.

Oh fuck off

>I think he means genetic pre-disposition

There may be something in this actually, intelligence is a way to compensate for lack of fitness in other areas evolutionarily. Howver intelligence is an inherant advantage regardless

This guy has a masters in chemical engineering

Fitness is good for mental health, don't you know?

I do lift and have found it helped my mood and energy but to say it "does as much" is stretching the benefits as wide as your mothers arsehole

Oh do please shutup. Stop trying to justify your meathead hobbies.

It's just jealously from weak nerds who want to feel better. It's easy to think of muscular and athletic guys as dumb jocks, but in my experience thats not the case

I heard that height is the most determining factor. The proteins either go to making you taller or smarter.

I didnt bother researching it anyway, personally I only think we're just scratching the surface on a lot of these new sciences, and to claim profound truths at this stage is just too early.

Um, please, no. Just go back to Veeky Forums, okay?

There's proven correlation between muscle size and low intelligence. Don't like it? Too bad, a meathead like you will be working for me some day.

Besides, more slender males are more respected in my circle -- it's a sign we're not insecure and don't need to involve ourselves in toxic masculinity to feel normal.

These are the facts. Tall alpha males receive more blood to the brain. Dominating a woman is a lot like analyzing a book. Betas rely on crude tactics, posturing, and firing from the hip. Alphas perform a "deep reading" of the text, and employ their penetrating intelligence with women as well. The former are simply lazy and weak, and as a result they are often entrenched in irrational ideologies out of insecurity, i.e. "being a pussy makes me a good person".

stop trying to justify being an effeminate pussy

...

lmao you just proved my point

You have to use toxic masculinity to insult me; you're also fucking misogynistic and try to implying femininity is a bad thing.

Now run along to your weights small-brain.

Not everyone is a fucking /pol/tard okay? I know it may confuse you, but there's more than three people on this site.

Actually the theory I was talking about states that height and intelligence were generally in inverse proportion. nigger.

You're right, my bad. No way someone who looks like an alpha male could be as smart a "slender male"

...

Why are you replying to this shitty bait

First thing I thought of

Literally, the pinnacle achievement of genetic history posting on Veeky Forums right now guys, AMA.

Oh boyim here we goyim

you are like a little child

Are you the transgender jewish happo from that The Bell Curve thread?

well, you are one. :^)

This is but one of my many recent accomplishments. Without my "head in the clouds" so-to-speak, I am free to wander the lands, improving the minds of simpletons like yourself. I'm basically the super-ape that saves.

>toxic masculinity

Feminine boys are best

Itt: scrawny, lanky virgins who've deluded themselves into thinking that if they just read enough, they'll find meaning in their life and a woman who loves them for their intelligence arguing against emotionally and phallicly stunted, unemployably stupid Veeky Forumsfags who work out because they can't find a woman who loves them as men so they find whores who love them as objects

Meanwhile I'm 6'2, handsome, going to Princeton University and was the valedictorian of my high school. Stay mad.

Yes, I am gay, but I am more of a poser gay because I'm only in it for the sweet, sweet boipucci.
I'm just not committed enough to keep a diary or own more than two pairs of shoes (both of which are black).

>toxic masculinity
>alpha males

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

Well then you did literally nothing wrong. Keep it 18+ and your in the clear.
Also dont go trans

Interestingly, I have this recurring dream where I have a sex change. I start my day off as a new woman, go about meeting people I know to introduce my new self, and everyone accepts me. Then the night comes and I lie down in bed and am instantly overcome with this crippling sense of regret. "What have I done?" plays over in my head. Then I wake up.

This Henry? Fuck you man

stupid. where does it say you can't lift and read/be smart?

i always bring a book to the gym and read in between sets

H-hello

Getting in shape is a good thing. Being insecure enough to feel the need to insult strangers for not having your hobbies isn't.

Haha you jealous?

You'll never be white. How's that feel

Oh no I'll never be a member of the second best race

Fitness generally helps one focus, and in general helps brain function.

But fitness does not equate to muscle mass. In my opinion, the most intelligent athletes are those who run, hike, mountaineer and do other outdoors focused activities. Its all about what you spend your time doing.

you need a healthy body before you can have a healthy heart and mind

Endurance, stamina and speed are much more intuitive to a healthy mind than strength exercises. The fittest person is not the beefcake with muscle, but the runner or bicyclist with a strong heart and lungs.

those guys with more muscle than cows usually die by 60, actual non-retarded people know this but don't expect Veeky Forumsizens to

Yeah. In martial arts cardio is probably the most important factor

>second best race

>who are most rich people in the world
>who are universally desired by females of every culture and ethnicity
>who will get you the right connections in the first world
>who make basically everything in history

stay in denial Henry

History is changing. Asians are going to take over America while whites breed (or don't breed) themselves out of existence. We have connections from going to the best schools in the world. We don't need to be desirable to ghost faces or mud races because we give two shits about preserving our culture.

Enjoy wallowing in the shit of your race's history while we build a better future, gweilo.

What kind of fucking stupid question is this? Read books and do pushups.

What culture? All chinese people care about are luxury cars, shopping malls, and dim sum.

None of you fags even read, half of all books sold in china are english and math guides.

...

Haha typical white person just pretending what he doesn't know about doesn't exist. I don't have time for you, kid.

You're disrespecting your own culture by your complete fucking misunderstanding of it. A gweilo knows your own country better than you. No shit the west isn't doing now well, but it's ironic that clearly your only source of information on china are western channels that do nothing but idly criticise it for some irrelevant islands (only relevant because of the geopolitical precedence, it's hard to say whether or not this concept will stand considering so many American federal faculty will change due to the upcoming elections) and the shiftiness of their tourists. The actual issues at hand in China is firstly its' own declining birth rates (albeit higher than whites by a decimal margin, much lower than that of their Central Asian and southeast Asian and Indian neighbours), the crippling internal faction wars between the president, the premier and Jiang Zemin's cart wagon, and the Confucian anti-innovative holdovers from the imperial era. You're literally the inverse of /pol/ while being all the same Henry
You're also a fucking retard. Most books in China are mandarin, and although there's a disproportionate amount of curricular focus, intellectual growth is going on as per the transition from a scarcity into a post scarcity society and the general strand of trying to emulate America like every other BRICs country is also involving into a newer form of jingoism. The world isn't so fucking black and white and you'd know that if you read anything at all that isn't Infinite Jest

Those are nice words, but you'll never say them in between classes at Princeton University (the University I attend after graduating as the valedictorian of my high school) since you will always fall short of me both in the literal sense since I'm 6'2 and figuratively.

No, that comic is pandering to those who jack off to fantasies of debating their highschool retard bullies. Take a walk into any decent university library and you'll find plenty of interesting, creative, intelligent people who work out.

Intelligence and fitness are both just tools to reach eudaimonia. Better than either is the practical wisdom to know how to employ them.

I was obese but then I started reading books and it inspired be to loose weight.

Now I'm a normal weight and working on building muscle and I owe it all to Julius Evola.

Princeton townie here, your parties are shit. Packed, ugly people, shitty dress culture, and every "6'2" guy like you is a lanklet rower.

this meme is still going strong? kek

Rowers are incredibly fit and far more dedicated than you. Their level of athleticism allows them to enjoy sex to an extent that a gym rat like yourself can't even imagine. Enjoy your sour grapes. Whine about our clothes to ignore the fact that we'll go on to incredibly successful careers while you're still going to undergrad parties at 26

What meme ;)

Rowers are either great people or boarding school faggots who row because Daddy's money doesn't buy an ivy admission anymore. Everyone in the world works hard, but only Princeton kids whine with masturbatory enthusiasm to each other.

I was always in a good shape (I do eat a loooot but just healthy food) and I liked reading but couldn't concentrate for a long time. Since I started running, I have the will to do tons of stuff and also I can focus better while reading so yeah. Running is good and eating well makes you feel better ^

this image is literally mom core.

>being this gay

i'm gay user but you're delusional if you don't think there is a benefit to mental health from doing any variety of exercising, including lifting weights.

> Asians
> preserving our culture

lol

You even living in Asia

>most rich

>2016
>being Asian
Are you even trying user? All of the connections in the world aren't going to change the fact that you will never, under any circumstances, understand something that isn't explicitly outlined in a textbook.

Just remember that you will never be white and you will always be an inch shorter than me

I am the literal perfect male height and you are not

This thread has been pretty thoroughly derailed, so I have a serious question about the Asians and education: how can they be so bad at applying what they learn and using their critical thinking skills?

For the last 6 years (high school and currently at UC Berkeley) I have gone to schools that were dominated by Chinese-American or Korean-American students, and they've all been the same in that they have no ability to problem solve. You could teach them literally everything in the world that they would ever need to know, and they would be at a loss when you asked them to do anything with what they've been taught. I've met with many prospective engineers who have boasted about their grades, setting the curve on exams, etc. and they all share the same innate disability of applying what they've learned.

I seriously need an explanation as to how this happens.

Shitty education system prioritizes test scores above all else, they aren't taught how to question things or think.

Physical fitness should precede and persist throughout any disciplining and training of the intellect

There are no mental detriments to being physically fit; there are a great many mental detriments to being physically unfit

books for the win!

They are not exclusive. You should endeavor to gain the greatest physical strength and knowledge you can.

Hey kiddo why don't you slow down and use your fucking turn signal when you're driving that tacky audi that you're too young for. You assholes are going to be the death of me and not even by genocide, just by a traffic accident. So don't call your elders and betters "kid." Fucking chinamen I swear.

I just don't get why I should respect them. There's a billion of them but only a dozen or so of their novelists are even on the map in Europe or the United States. Japan has a stronger literary tradition, and it has for long time. They also beat China in a million wars. They cling to their traditions and those traditions brought them nothing but shame and degradation. The wealthiest and most capable chinese people can't wait to move fucking anywhere else and so now I have to watch the road like a hawk so I don't get sideswiped by a fifty year old chinese lady blinking at the cellphone in her lap.

you sound rull mad, friendo.,
