It’s not a design disaster, we just don’t take care of them very well these days. Her argument that the olympian athletics folks are putting wear and tear on their bodies doesn’t make sense. The body can heal itself. I doubt olympians have a lot of back problems.

  Along these lines is the fact that our spine hasn't evolved to match our lifestyle. We don't work for food anymore, we work to buy food on grubhub instead. Kind of night and day and this video sucks lol.

  It's nothing to do with our lifestyle, our spine hasn't evolved to match our gait, which is exactly what the video was saying. Also athletes have to be very careful to avoid damaging their bodies, and despite being careful athletes in many fields have limited careers due to irreversible damage to things like their back and knees. The body can't heal everything
