Thought about it, snce it's near New Year's.

In my opinion, exercising/training/stretching atleast once a week would be a good thing for most people.

I'm reminded of Plato's argument against writing, in which his position was roughly that relying on writing will make us become less practiced at remembering. I especially love the line, which goes hard.

"What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder."

Though the entire passage where the quote is from is great; It's thought provoking even if I don't necessarily agree with it.
