Crypto VC says it's bad for people to exercise because he's mad there are no explicit losers. Wants to bring gatekeeping back to sports "there are some things that should be reserved for those who compete. Whether it’s status, elite apparel, media, or the corners of the internet where serious amateur athletes congregate, we need spaces and signifiers that celebrate the legitimacy of athletic competition without apology." jaydrainjr.substack.com/p/make-adult... Bro just buy your Tracksmith, flex getting into Boston and go. Exercisers are still the VAST MINORITY and you already feel so threatened by the hobbyists you dumped 500 words out about how they should be excluded from stuff?

I’m so glad you’re dunking on this because I had a very snarky response to it drafted and then wussed out 😆

Yeah same, typed out a reply & deleted it b/c it wasn't worth engagement. But since we're here...seriously one of the inane takes I've seen in weeks & makes me question what kind of nerosis causes one to identify "people exercising socially" as one of the core problems with our society that needs a blogpost and not loneliness, obesity, low self-esteem, etc. Then again, it appears he ran Track & Field in college, so maybe he's just getting pissy that a bunch of yuppie Manhattanites are running but devoid passion/zeal/spirit of competition that made running meaningful to him.

The neurosis question is a good one, and I don’t know. It makes me seethe.

My read was that he went to run club and no one wanted to hook up with him
