Knight/Warrior Mindset makes me dig deeper in my workouts and keeps me exercising for more time. It does not allow me to quit. It pushes you more. Maybe this can help you once you get St. Biceps?

I say double down ont he brain and mind, Youâll level up everything faster, your life will be easier, more comfortable, youâll be happier, youâll make gain for your next reincarnation (if thatâs your thing).
Muscles are for showing off as far as Iâm concerned, unless if it pays the bills.
See, you focus on conceptual realization and knight now and youâll know what to do next time.
I havenât much to say beyond that.
Also, I think youâre leaning on way already.
See, you already chose what type of answer you want by who you ask.
Lol, like always donât give too much value to what I say
Also, keep in mind that muscles needs up keeping. Your brain not so much. Itâs like assets vs consumable

Intelligence beats force, thatâs why bears, lion and cie are in cage.
There will be no fight, to fight is to lose. I win but you poke my eyes⌠silly.
I poison you, manipulates you, hack you, I anticipated you months before. Minimizing risk.
We use tools and weapons, muscles are not gonna cut it. You wonât even know youâre fighting.
No pride, just statistics

We are a democratic institution, We have procedures.
I will let my people vote for the preselected candidates and see whether or not they act according to the highest principles of Weissian thought lol
Edit: thereâs a few seats left on the âcouncil of the wiseâ. I encourage new members of the brain trust to register their interest as soon as possible. I shall remind you that it is a very advantageous position in the organization. The council of the wise gets to nominate the members of the human ressources division and vet new recruits, promotion and election candidates.
Keep in mind that the post comes with rewards (material) down the line. Itâs an opportunity to be generals in an expanding army.
We are interested in recruiting some muscle for the Security committee. The position of Security chief is on the table. It comes with a seat to the Central Standing committee.

Thereâs parts where I agree with @DR_MANHATTAN and disagree.
Muscles for sure require upkeep, likewise a sharp mind is superior to a dull one.
But as intelligence beats force, the strength of the body does not negate, but instead drives the strength of mind. Poison, manipulation, tools, and weapons do not simply disappear with muscle.
Some Mark Rippetoe quotes for your reading pleasure
âA weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up.â
"âThe deadlift also serves as a way to train the mind to do things that are hard.â
âbut the reality of millions of years of adaptation to a ruggedly physical existence will not just go away because desks were invented.â
In the end however, how you choose to cultivate your stats for your RPG character will be up to your circumstances. I find for me that with the cultivation of the body, an already sharp mind becomes hardened like carbonized steel.

Strength of character, willpower and resilience are not gymbroâs monopoly. Long term, intelligence beats strength. Intelligence will get you to the top and afford you bodyguards and henchman. Especially when numbers stack up and money piles in on our side.
We live in the age of quantum computers, fork lift, trucks, robots and ICB missiles.
A decade from now, your organization will be broke. Lol, just kidding
Ever wonder why soldiers donât rule the world ? Why fighters fight in cage promoting sht.
The time you spend lifting, we build weapon systems, the time you spend sparring, weâll build toys and goodies for ourselves and our followers.

Perhaps if weâre speaking of extremes on a tabula rasa character, that might be the case.
In this particular world, sometimes you just have to be a jack of all trades. Ultimately itâs balancing out the scales of what exactly suits you for that moment. Even the idea of solely strength or intelligence as superior in one case or another is a fallacy, but of course Conceptual Realizations probably will help in reaching this nuance.
From my personal life experience, anti-fragility and sociability is perhaps the biggest determinant of success. It is no surprise that Silicon Valley, formerly home to high IQ slightly libertarian leaning individuals has been taken over by highly sociable, cosmopolitan liberal types. Not to say either one is superior to another, but the nature of scaling hierarchies results in the need for a division of needs. Every Quantum Computer, Fork Lift and Truck engineer, ICBM and Robot technician is at the mercy of marketing departments, social agendas etcâŚ
So what is the gist of what I am saying?
To shorten it up, anti-fragility is the chief aim. Most of us here who are able to understand the biomedical nature of Sapienâs Fields and take enough of a risk on something that is not empirically proven are probably higher in IQ and creativity enough test something groundbreaking and new. I highly doubt most of the people on this forum are low IQ guys.
For @Atreides case, being more sly and Machiavellian (which of course, have nothing to do with the Knight Mindset nor CR fields) will probably not be of assistance in maneuvering a job filled with toxic people since from what Iâve read of him, he isnât toxic himself. Strength on the other hand will affect him mentally enough that he will create a more imposing presence that will deter toxicity, like it or not, in this particular world people still have a primal nature.
My argument is simple. To increase your chances at not only survival, but to be able to thrive in such an environment, the physical strength gained from St. Biceps would create a more anti-fragile existence.
And finally
Ever wonder why soldiers donât rule the world ? Why fighters fight in cage promoting sht.
I donât see why you feel the need to use false dichotomies and a lack of nuance, in addition to a hostile attitude when someone holds a different opinion.
I could just as easily argue;
Why are economists not rich while Gymbros on Twitter make easy 6 figures from ecommerce?
Why does Conor MacGregor make more in a fight than a Nuclear Physicist?
