It's kinda like burning dollar bills in the fireplace to make the place look cozy.

It's kind of the ultimate symbol of excess evolutionary wealth to be able to go for a run just because we want to burn off excess energy.

we want to burn off excess energy.

A step further even, a lot of us need to burn off excess energy, because we're so well off (evolutionarily speaking) that we practically can't help but take in more energy than we burn naturally
