> can run backward. On a treadmill. In the dark. Why is this so significant. Does this affect your health in a goodway?
"Vigorous, varied cardio is Diniz’s cornerstone. Running backward in the dark hones coordination and proprioception -- the sense of where his core and limbs are in space."
Interesting, Need to do some more research on this.

Just because physics doesn't have a notion of identity, doesn't mean there is no such thing. Identical particles have different identities because they have a different location in space-time. The location in space-time creates the identity. There's also a problem with the math of your claim. They can't "be the same particle" if you can have two of them. 1 != 2
You should read the Quantum Physics sequence I mentioned above. There is no Royal Road, and the whys and hows just cannot be explained in a few lines[1]. If you want a short-cut nonetheless, try here[2] to understand what is a configuration space, then proceed there[3] to understand what "no identity" really means. I won't repeat Eliezer here, you really have to follow the links. Now I did made some language abuse. F…

Steroids significantly reduce recovery time, so you can go back and deliver another "build muscle" stimulus sooner than without the steroids (if you chronically lift before you recover you'll LOSE muscle mass). But you cannot avoid the work, you still need to work just as hard to deliver the stimulus.
By what you're saying, someone who is lifting and taking adequate rest between sessions, ensuring that they get enough rest, won't benefit from taking steroids if they don't change their schedule? I'm saying steroids reduce recovery time, AND build muscle more easily. You're saying it's just the former.

I would say the way steroids build muscle more easily is via reducing recovery. The person you present would get that benefit, be able to train more frequently and grow faster than a person doing the exact same things except not taking steriods. Steroids also allow one to exceed their genetic strength maximum, but unless you're already banging up against that wall (say 10-15 years of sustained excellent programming,…

That's very strange logic. You don't experience future versions of yourself in the present either. But they are also you.
Really? Very strange logic? I experience future versions of myself in the future, and present version(s) of myself in the present. That seems normal. You say, "they [future versions] are also you." But your tense is wrong. Don't you mean... " will be also you"? The fact that the software copy of me is in my present time frame and yet is obviously separate from me seems to force the conclusion that I am not it , gener…

I didn't know that. Do you have any links that explain this so I could read more on it?
