Given that Eliezer has expressed this concern a few times already, I'd like to see someone better known than me and/or more involved with SIAI start a wepay fund to get him a personal trainer. I would contribute the first $300 to such a fund, and consider it existential risk reduction, given the cognitive and longevity benefits of physical fitness.
I think that the guilt and loss of self esteem that that would cause might outweigh the benefits, causing an existential risk increase.
I'll admit I'm no pjeby, my other-optimizing skills are no better than average. But LW seems to be willing to offer fitness advice, and that's a huge bikeshedding problem. I'd feel much more comfortable and productive paying a professional to give fitness advice.
If it's worth anything to you, I'm studying for ACE certification in my off time. I have all the study materials, and anything I can't answer off the top of my head I can look up in the same reference books a certified professional would have.
Edit: only saw the local context, and interpreted it as a personal request for advice. I wouldn't presume to tackle Eliezer's issues from this side of the internet. Nothing Fucking Works cases are rarely truly intractable, but I wouldn't want to deal with one with armchair diagnostics.
