Comment on The Myth of Making It (2019)

If you stop striving towards goals, you die. Your body and mind fall apart.

One of the most boring experiences is traveling around and looking at things.

I'm happiest when I'm working hard trying to achieve a new goal.

If you stop striving towards goals, you die. Your body and mind fall apart.

This simply isn't true, Walter, and you know it

Are you sure about that? It's well known that there are spikes in deaths among older people:

1. after retirement

2. after the 70th, 80th, and 90th birthdays

3. after a family event that had been long anticipated

and that "keeping active" is necessary to keep living.

One's body falls apart without regular exercise, and the mind does, too.
