This is very accurately put, Dan. I really like this paragraph here: "My father used to say that the brain is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. And there is certainly some truth to that statement. But it’s also true that many of us need to make up for the mismatch between our culture and our biology. We need to move our bodies. " I agree with this. I do wish there are a revamping of the way people commute and go about their day as well. Your father was a wise man, Dan, don't you think?
Yes, I do think he was a wise man. These days, people don't think of the brain as a muscle. The usual metaphor is the brain is a computer. As it relates to the need for movement in our lives, "brain as computer" is worse than "brain as a muscle." I saw that you are an architectural preservationist. Did you ever run across my father? He was an architect.
That’s a great analogy, Dan. (Brain as a muscle). And no I haven’t run across my father though my memory isn’t so great these days. So maybe and maybe not? 🤓
