So I really think that like, it's just like I said before, you might not think memorizing a string of 25 numbers is important at any age, but if you're gonna have really awesome peak memory,
that gives you a lot of room to decline later on.
Whereas if you're trying to reverse engineer what you don't want to be able to not remember when you're 75, I think you're just setting the bar way too low, right?
So if you're 20, you should be thinking about what are all the sports I can't do?
And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with picking a sport,
But I do think it would be good for everyone when they're young enough to do so to just try a different sport once a year.
And maybe they don't love it.
They don't fall in love with it.
But maybe they learn something like, oh, I didn't realize I couldn't do that.
I did, last year, I did a little bit of BJJ and I did a little bit of boxing.
And I was like, God damn, like my feet don't move like they used to in boxing.
And in BJJ, I was getting a little dizzy doing forward and backward rolls.
And I was like, I don't spend enough.
This was before I started thinking about the gymnast being upside down.
I was like, I don't spend enough time being upside down.
So I was like, so I bought some mats.
And then now I just, you know, I do one forward and backward roll every day, no matter, I don't do BJJ right now.
But I just do one forward and backward roll every day as part of my morning routine.
But I've also switched.
