      In fact if you don’t have a substance abuse problem and/or a degenerative brain disease I think they would consider you to be overqualified.

        The Nihilistic worldview is the deciding factor. They believe in nothing, other than their own self advancement.

        That said, there is a seeming correlation between overweight people in the US being Nihlistic as such. But hardly all, seeing as over half of the population is overweight now. Half of white people, equal for men and woman, higher for all minorities, but especially for their woman, with the exception of east asians, which are generally fit.

        It takes an immigrant 7 years on average to become as overweight as the average American.

        Information on weight demographics from the NHIS, the last paragraph from Harper’s Magazine.

          Middle aged East Asian people are not physically fit lol. This is racialized faux intellectualism. Lemmy should have higher standards.

          ‘Nihilism and body weight are linked’… Source? ‘Trust me bro’

            I was talking about being overweight and obesity, the East Asians have the lowest rates, white people are about the second lowest at 50/50 fit and fat, blacks and Hispanics are higher, especially amongst the woman Folk, and I explicitly said the source of the National Institute of Health.
