🧵 Is physical fitness harmful to pure intelligence?
Anonymous at Fri, 21 Jun 2024 09:34:24 UTC No. 16245322
Exercise increase stress which is bad for your prefrontal cortex to the point it makes it shrink and long term damages it if continued but it's also bad for your health anyway. Physically fit people are always very impulsive and have low inhibition because their prefrontal cortex is simply not working is my theory. Though there's the one thing that could be helpful is walking since it's not an exercise and you still need to move in one way or another.

You have microconcussions from running with the brain bouncing back and forth the whole time too. Exercise is a cope which is why all normies do it and can't shut their fucking mouths about muh gym.

I dont think it would have any measurable effects
it's just that 1) you tend to underestimate intelligence of fir/muscular people because of stereotypes
2)fit/muscular people use violence more often regardless of intelligence simply because it's a valid option for them and isn't for you and other weak people

Or perhaps they are more archaic people that were adopted for a different way of survival. How is that not possible? How can your body get all the energy and recover from all that stress? There are no examples of people exercising in nature, they had to do it to survive.

I did find this recent study though, but it does not say that sporty people are, as you claim:
>impulsive
>uninhibited
As a matter of fact, those words re not mentioned a single time in the paper:

Human beings where designed to move towards a goal, this includes stimulation to the body and muscles. Increasing physical stress (within tolerable levels that lead to growth) stimulates the mesh of neurons in your brain to release hormones and increase neuroplascitcity. Physical fitness can actually be beneficial to the PFC, aiding in increasing localised grey matter. Due to the stimulation of dopamine pathways in the brain, and stimulation of other cortices that wire to it. Increase myelination of axons, and helps buffer against cognitive and psychological stress. Increases executive function, and a whole host over other beneficial things

Physically fit people are usually on a drug like coke or meth. The rest are brain damaged so much that they don't know anything.

cardio is hugely beneficial by increasing mitochondrial count and efficiency and brain vascularity.
muscle mass doesn't really have a big effect besides being a buffer for blood glucose, but it doesn't hurt either.
fat is detrimental due to chronic inflammation.

I think "/sci/" would do well to not interchangeably use the word "exercise" to describe running like a retard for miles on hard concrete and perhaps doing lawn work or building something or gardening or some other more natural physical interaction with the environment.

Fittards need to be treated for their crimes against normal people. Their brains are decaying, and this is made evident by their impulsive muscle movements.
The treatment is blood transfusions from an 80 year old woman, and giving the Fittards blood to nursing home residenta.

Someone on here was talking about micro-concussions and such just from walking. This seems like it may harm the brain, but there have been cases where the chemicals coming out of traumatic experiences have granted savant powers. Not sure you should be worried about working out if you are still drinking that fluorinaise.

Dunno OP. You were impulsive enough to make this shit thread and lacked the inhibition necessary to type your posts and responses in this thread in correct English. Also your entire claim boils down to your FEELS that certain people are a certain way.
I think you're probably a retarded scrawny nerd with no redeeming traits.

It depends.
Are you fit, because your body favors supplying the muscles at the expense of the brain, either because of genetics, or the gym - you are probably dumb.
Are you good looking because you are better fed, or your body is better at getting and keeping nutrienrs - you are possibly more intelligent than average.

Exercises only causes stress if it’s continued for long periods of time. It’s okay to do low volume, high intensity exercises, which is natural for the human body.

You're mistaking the fact that a lot of low IQ retards who have nothing to offer the world other than a base sexual display of "fitness" are drawn to gyms and the like. That doesn't mean fitness does not help intelligence, evidence suggests otherwise in fact. The kind of gymtards you're thinking of are beyond any help, they are not going to become geniuses from lifting weights. But it is something everyone should do
