I suspect there’s a True Scotsman argument embedded in the measurement behind this for one or more of “people you’ve met”, “physically fit” and “rationalist”.
I know of a number of people who are reasonably healthy and trim (but I don’t know if that’s “physically fit”), and who have heard of Eliezer Yudkowsky and at least some topics discussed on LW (but I don’t know if they are “rationalists”).
By “rationalist” I mean anybody LW-adjacent, that I’ve met at a meetup. By healthy I mean someone who looks like they have a BMI between 18 and 25, and exercises regularly.
And I actually need to revise: when I went to India I attended a LessWrong meetup, and there were many healthy people there. So this distinction is probably limited to American rationalists, of which I’m including myself as an unhealthy example; I have a BMI of about 30.
