> I don't know why bike riding should be considered superior to building a world in Minecraft as an example.

Nothing against fortnite, but we are animals with bodies, not brains in a jar.

This is why I'd say that riding a bike around¹ is more valuable than playing fortnite.

1: And bike riding can be a group thing as well. When I was a kid,we dirt jumped and mountain biked on the local trails a lot, which was immensely fun.

If you truly believe that, then quit your office job and take a more physical, human occupation.

I don't have a physical occupation now,but every other waking minute I do physical things as much as I can.

I used to work farm labour when I was younger, never slept so well in my life.

Speak (emphasize?) for yourself; I'm software that happens to be installed on a meat-puppet.

As much as we might like it to be different, the condition we keep our meat-puppets in and how vigorously we use them has great effects on the performance of our software.
