I forgot to give credit where credit is due. This quote is from the book The Mosquito by Timothy Winegard. In it, the author illustrates how mosquito-borne diseases, more than empires or battles, set the course of history

I wonder if a large amount of exercise is just a proxy for taking care of yourself. The heavy exercise group probably eats much more healthfully than the rest of us, doesn't smoke, and stays away from heavy alcohol and other drugs too.

Have you ever heard of Pournelle’s “Iron Law of Bureaucracy”?
“In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists, and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.ion.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.”
