People like it, we are just lazy and so we do things like sit on the couch even though the rational self knows that exercise will make us happy.


Thats what I was aiming at: you can't get people to exercise, we have tried telling it to them in five hundred different ways, a million different slogans and insane amount of dollars have been wasted.

Where would we have been if that amount of money had instead been used for "exercise in a pill" research? Would we have it? Unlikely. Would we be able to get some of the benefits? Absolutely.


Exercise itself makes me happy. If you do something you like it can be very nice in itself.
