Fitter, happier, and other fantasies of modern life
I&#x27;m of the belief that all those stories about CEOs who wake up at 4:30 AM, hit the gym, and have another notch in their belt by 7 AM are not products of their routine, but rather that their routines are products of themselves.  One can&#x27;t usurp those lifestyles without changing their unique set of circumstances up to that point, their genetics, their gut bacteria, or any of a plethora of other factors.  Being someone is like being a planet, forged by chance from matter swirling around after chaotically exploding into the universe.  Dialogue on the Internet is narrowing our perceptions of what it means to be an individual, and that&#x27;s not really a good thing, IMO.
