Leo expects to live 70 years because he does nothing for hours at a time.

When I was watching the video on https://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-be-a-strategic-motherfucker, I noticed that leo expects to be on his deathbed when he becomes 70 years old. As he said that, his eyes were tearing up. I felt sad for him. I could almost hear him say that he wanted to live more than 70 years.

I analyzed why leo expects to live 70 years and came up with an explanation.

Exercise is essential for physical health. If you often did nothing for hours at a time, you would lose health. Not moving for hours is as bad to health as smoking cigarette. That's probably why leo expects to live 70 years instead of 90~100 years.

Perhaps, it is beneficial to split an 8 hour doing nothing session into pomodoro(25 minute) sessions or 1 hour sessions interrupted by 5~10 minute breaks. I maintain my health by splitting my work into pomodoro sessions interrupted by 5 minute breaks. During breaks, I do pull-ups, stretch my body, drink water, go to toilet, and so on to maintain my physical and mental health.

I don't really think that's why he believes he will only live to be 60 or 70. Meditation doesn't have an adverse effect on health in that way. Plus, Kriya Yoga is very active. He may just be low-balling his life expectancy to give himself more of a sense of urgency to achieving what he wants to achieve or to become aware of how close death looms upon the horizon. But there could also be other reasons that he doesn't much mention.

Leo is such a strategic motherfucker that Leo expects to be on his deathbed tomorrow!

If I remember correctly he said in this video that he expects to be around 60 about at 44:00

he also said that it was because he wanted to set proper exspectations for how long he would live since you don't live forever.

Whats the point of this post?

Some gurus are living 250+ years by doing nothing.

It's better to expect to live possibly shorter so you can plan to live your dreams until then. More years will be like gifts after your expected your death. Well that's my opinion.

Leos living forever.

Near @ 59 he says that the only really worthwhile thing to do with your life is to become a Yogi. So in that case he'd better be going after those picnic baskets at the park and watching out for the rangers .

1:17 he talks about strategy coincidence?

He is practicing stoicism is why.
