Replying to Avatar HODL

Partially true, partially incorrect logic. Yes, walking a lot is great. Yes, man is an animal, therefore improving physiology improves happiness. No, man is not only an animal, therefore it is dangerously incorrect to infer that there are not other shifts that would have profoundly more impact on happiness than walking 6 miles daily. Plenty of neuroscience-based studies on other higher determinants of happiness also.

Obviously there’s higher order drives in humans, but physicality is a baseline

Correct. Which is why the author is incorrect to infer that walking a lot is the best remedy without an investigation or higher order drives.
