Because they are old. There are no 25 years old intellectuals.

You SHOULD be fitlit. People who stay indoors all day have little experience of the world and have nothing interesting to write about.

If you cut out TV and videogames, it’s really easy to be /fitlit/. Hobbes played tennis, Aristotle and Plato were both physically fit and extolled fitness as a virtue, and if you look at any crucifix you’ll see Jesus had a six-pack and mastered the Hebrew Bible.

The fit/ lit dichotomy is a cope, just like how plenty of people think there’s a beautiful/ nice dichotomy amongst women (when in fact, some of the meanest and greediest women I’ve known have been fat and ugly).

Fitness actually heals and maintains brain health and improves concentration.

I don't think people argue that it's impossible to be both, only that it's excruciatingly hard in modern times where physical labor is less required. Intellectual pursuits distanced themselves from the cultivation of the body with the advent of technology.

All of you are faggots. If you want to be a well rounded, intelligent and strong man, delete all social media and start working as a carpenter or some kind of hard manual labor job. You don’t get the gay, sculpted non-functional strength that comes from lifting, you get complex compound exercises 8 hours a day, and when you get home, you can enjoy a a few brews and a good book and articles till you have to wake up and do it again the next day.
>inb4 but muh 8 hours a day working!
1 in a thousand posters here actually make use of their idle time. The majority of you would do well to have a third of your day taken from you, if only so that you value the time you do have to yourself. I write more, read more, and am more disciplined now that I’m in the trades. Gym fags kys, book fags kys, balanced well read, disciplined men who know how to build things in the real world: these are the only ones I admire.
