Interesting observation. I’m don’t have strong feelings about how fit rationalists are compared to the population. I have met various fit rationalists though.
A few come to mind in the local rationalist community in Portland.
I remember one guy on the LW Slack being really into weightlifting.
Over the years, somehow I’ve managed to meet up with four rationalists who are really into basketball. Perhaps because I’ve expressed interest in basketball in my writing. It still feels like a somewhat large coincidence though, given the small amount of LessWrongers who I presume to be into basketball. Anyway, each of these people have been extremely fit. 2-3 of them have played at the college level.
jefftk strikes me as being relatively fit. I vaguely recall posts indicating he spends a lot of time running, biking, dancing, and doing a decent amount of other outdoor activities. Similar with so8res.
Once upon a time I was pretty fit. Hopefully I can become fit again.
