I was taken by the concept of "industrial drudgery", and don't understand why this should be applied only to the endurance sports. My view is that running, rowing and other endurance sports can only be viewed as drudgery when the competitive aspect is exalted over the utility and pure enjoyment of the act. Further, the concept of competition on a large scale (who is the best out of millions and billions rather than who's the fastest in the neighborhood) takes the whole endeavor into the "civilized" world as opposed to the "paleo" world, based on just how much WORK is required to be the best at any exercise, rather than enjoying it as PLAY. I would guess that the same is true for resistance exercise/gymnastics etc as well. You're not going to be playful and non-industrial in your planning and routines if you want to be the best, no matter what the endeavor is. So one of the other distinguishing features of the paleo approach is a much decreased concern and preoccupation with competition, status and objective measures of performance.Drs.

Here in the states, I think it's almost a foregone conclusion that an idea, thought of any originality has to be put into "one camp" of politics, which is sad. I know off the top of my head a few people (both liberal and conservative) who don't even think about adopting this lifestyle because it is in the "libertarian" mold, or they think it's "the other side's" viewpoint.

Thanks for the comment.
I don't want t...Bryce<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />I don't want to get into a debate about Obamacare. I think there are some cultural differences between Europeans and Americans that become very stark in the area of health care. There are lots of factors at play in the debate (e.g. the US spends more per head than the UK but has a lower life expectancy). I hate the idea of people telling me what to eat....mainly because my idea of healthy food doesn't match that of the authorities. However, I am very grateful for the NHS which has saved the lives of my family and friends. The NHS suffers in some ways from its openness and inclusivity in that people take it for granted and waste millions through missed appointments. Then again its inclusivity is what makes it - it is care on the basis of need not ability to pay.<br /><br />As I said though I think there are massive cultural differences in this area and I think the two paradigms do not easily coincide.....so I don't want to get into an off topic argument about health care.<br /><br />In some way these differences were what I was trying to bring out with Keith - the range from individualism to an altruistic tribe that might sacrifice for the sick and needyChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-16204729117473314852010-03-01T12:00:06.303-08:002010-03-01T12:00:06.303-08:00Zach

Once you get the paradigm right, new evidence just clarifies the nature of the bricks in the foundation – it does not put them there…” <br /><br />Spot on. However, this is certainly not to be taken as a denouncement of the study of breaking science – far from it – but rather using the “we need more studies” mentality from preventing/delaying positive action TODAY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-7855360170035674322010-03-01T07:39:25.500-08:002010-03-01T07:39:25.500-08:00Thanks, Chris, for a genuinely fascinating intervi...Thanks, Chris, for a genuinely fascinating interview from a really interesting pioneer. I very much enjoyed it, and I'm going to give his site a good look through.<br /><br />I would agree with Zach, however, in that my "libertarian" thoughts stem not from some romantic trail blazing mentality, but rather from the disgust and horror I have for our government's influencing of public health. At every turn, be it through issuing public policy on diet, to subsidizing grain production, to threatening to interfere with health insurance, the State has attempted to make the situation better and has instead exacerbated an epidemic of neolithic health disorders.<br /><br />I just saw a tv advert (I had to remember to translate "commercial" for folks in the UK) selling a new tax on sugared beverages in New York State. While I think the intention is good - making people healthier - I am nauseated by the idea that it is the State's place to govern what people eat in any way. It seems ok when they tax sugar, or cigarettes, but just wait until they start trying to tax bacon, or butter. It's not as far fetched as it sounds, as I know you are well aware, with the Ban-Butter campaign occurring in the UK.<br /><br />So I think the libertarian-paleo link really has more to do with people taking control of their health, and in turn their lives, and thus becoming resistant to an outside entity attempting to exert control over those things. The state has proven that, regardless of it's intentions, it can't be trusted to make decisions that lead to our improved health. We need to retain the rights to make those decisions for ourselves.<br /><br />I believe this return to a traditional way of eating simply precipitates a return to a traditional or classical liberalism, born of in the coffee houses Zach referenced in Germany and Austria. <br /><br />Thanks for a great post!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.studentoffitness.blogpsot.com" rel="nofollow">Bryce Lee</a>Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485589400686017338noreply@blogger.com
