Had this giant blubberous appendage he kind of laid on. Yes. Mushrooms have this giant stalk, which doesn't go anywhere. So if we were meant to be immobile, we would have been designed like one of those two beings, but we were not. We were designed with the strongest muscles below our belly buttons. We have two legs. What is the first independent skill we ever learned? Walking.

I think that when you look at the statistics in our country and somewhat around the world, that 50, 60, 70% of people do no intentional movement a day.

If you add it up, we are probably like a mushroom in one place, 20 hours a day. That is not what we're designed to do. And so all of that sedentary living that we're doing...

Yeah, so I may have come to this late, but now I would say from 48 on, I am the most authentic, the most indefinable. I get to choose, and that comes from the confidence of of experience that I could not possibly have had at 25.
