I object to this image.

Not because I think physical fitness so important that a good work out regimen is a moral necessity for all men—no, I can respect a man who neglects his body in the service of something else, if that something else be good; and learning is good.

Nor because I object to the idea that reading is a mental work-out; it can be.

I object because it is implied that this reading man has a moral superiority over his comparably silly companion because he chooses mind over body.

I do not worship physical fitness; but it is good. I have the highest respect for literacy; but it is not man's highest purpose.

Moreover, his answer is mean to no purpose. He was not asked whether he thinks mental improvement superior to physical; but he must say it. A man may neglect his body for the pursuit of knowledge, but he needn't; yet this fellow insists on the false binary, and says that he chooses not to exercise because he chooses to learn. It is inappropriate to the question; it is needlessly insulting to his muscular friend; it is appallingly self-congratulatory.

Swift has written, that "learning puffeth a man up", and no man of learning can afford to forget it, so long as pride remains the most sinister and omnipresent temptation of man.

If you go to a gym you are a bitch. If you don't live out in the country and either have a large garden or a farm you are a pathetic excuse for a human being or even a man.

Chop some wood for your wood stove and sit in your chair smoking your pipe whilst reading some literature.

You'll work out your brain and your body. Plus, you'll actually some responsibility in the form of crops of livestock.
