No open thread for Jan 2014 so I'll ask here. Is anybody interested in enactivism? Does anybody think that there is a cognitivist bias in LessWrong?

BHTV: Yudkowsky / Robert Greene
Coming from the other the side what makes Robert Greene think I want to be pushed to do anything. I can imagine situations were a person is a road sweeper(no offence intended) then fully accepts their mortality and still stays a road sweeper.

What I've learned from Less Wrong
Right, I've read the solution sequence to "free will" and all I've managed to glean from it is that a) I'm physics, whose ontology I'm quite ignorant of and b) free will is conceptually incoherent and needs dissolving. I certainly don't feel like or believe I have free will or that I could influence the creation of FAI by desire for example. Is there something Louis(me) is missing that Louie isn't from the sequence? I find the sequence too long and prosaic to fit in my head to make a visceral impact. Is there a more concise alternative or even just an alternative that would make Louis.belief == Louie.belief? I'm struggling guys please help.
The usual: 10-20% BF for men (you can have less if you're actually an athlete), 20-30% for women.
Oh you mean healthy not normal? Few men are at 10-20%.
Do you still believe that fatty equals not good for you?
No. Why would you think that?
Plus who the hell puts ketchup anywhere near pasta?
People who torture kittens for fun. Both are an acquired taste.
No. Why would you think that?
I suppose I just expect from people, even intelligent people on LW.
People who torture kittens for fun.
The reverse correlation doesn't work because I torture kittens too.
I binge on (fresh) bread without toppings, but I find pasta much more enjoyable with ketchup or some sort of spice.
Super-stimulus foods are ether very sugary or very salty
Or fatty.
You seem to think that any tasty food is super-stimulus food.
Shouldn't pretty much any cooked food be a super-stimulus considering the relevant ancestral environment and why we intricately cook food in the first place?
Small children in general also like pasta and even you probably wouldn't consider it a super-stimulus food.
Super-stimuli could be different for different age groups. I've never seen anyone love plain pasta, they like their ketchup and sauce too.
Do you still believe that fatty equals not good for you? Plus who the hell puts ketchup anywhere near pasta?

Exercise isn't necessarily good for people
Has anybody looked into sarcopenia and resistance training can slow it's progression?
Sure, but once you've conceded that yes, CrossFit has an unusual increased risk of a disorder both deadly and detrimental to fitness, then you need to deal with objections that CFers would be better off with the next alternative
This is news to me and of relevance to my exercise choices. Is it the consensus of all the people on lesswrong who have the name 'gwern' that following CrossFit's workout of the day routine is on net detrimental and to be avoided in favour of something else?
From my experience (anecdotal observation) is that with Crossfit what the participant brings into it largely determines what they take out of it. Now perhaps not all Crossfit boxes(gyms) share the same culture. But where I go there is a focus on form and scaling of workouts. Also those that are serious about progressing know how to hold back because rhabdo would destroy their(my) work and gains. Those who have no real goal except some loose idea of improved fitness and health never seem to push themselves hard enough to do damage. I'd say rhabdo would take a unique kind of desire to win over the pain to achieve.
Just to brag and promote: after a year of CF I've gained 6kg~ of muscle mass from 78kg to 84kg at 185cm. Crossfit is a tool to achieve fitness goals it doesn't provide the goals or the motivation just the means exercise both.
