All of the ancient greek philosophers promoted physical fitness, but Socrates said it best >No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
Thucydides also has a good quote >The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.
Plato was obviously most IST philosopher. His name means "wide" since that was his nickname during wrestling years. Bro would get up during philosophical debates and just flex on the other guy.
>Dumb jock, weak nerd israeli psyop
Real. Weak and dumb people are the same people. People think it's a video game where you get 10 stat points to distribute but it's not. Some people develop no stat points their whole life and stay weak, uncharismatic, ugly idiots and some people work to be strong, smart, social and beautiful.
People are more unequal than any role-playing game or Hollywood movie will ever accept.
The post critiquing athletes is wrong. Certainly, thinking that athletes are good warriors would be wrong (though good warriors would benefit from athletics). What matters with athletics is more the acknowledgement of the effort and dedication put towards a craft.
Athletics is like the visual arts or public speaking. The best athletes are respected because they put so much effort and dedicated so much of their lives towards a result.
Philosophy is a bullshit academic pursuit invented by a bunch of pompous buttholes who think they're smart for asking questions that cannot be answered. Philosophy is only useful as a tool to help understand yourself and live a happy life, past that it's completely bullshit amorphous crap.
>be Ayn Rand >write dogshit book about how selfishness is the best virtue >tailor philosophy to appeal to the bourgeois she was removed from >despise all forms of welfare and socialism >collect Medicare and social security checks >die in government funded housing
If she believed in her philosophy so much why did she have to rely on the government for dem benefits. The answer is pretty simple: her views are bullshit
why ask when you know every answer will be the hobo dude

>dumb jock/weak nerd dichotomy
I've always found this one funny. When I wrestled in college half the team was majoring in either philosophy or art.
