We live in ~~a society~~ an ecosphere.

No system but the ecosystem

What does that even mean?

We’re living in an era of crisis. Enter lifestyle fascism: a bid to remake society by remaking the beleaguered male body.

They take the fascist hype about being a superior being very seriously. The biohacking and related activity is part of becoming that. It's an embodiment of fascism, but, in effect, it's the deeper commodification of the body's systems; every cell, every hormone, every amino-acid, every calorie, all must become part of the life and death rat race competition (under capitalism). I think that the somewhat recent show, "INVINCIBLE", presents the fitness story of that strain of fascism very clearly.

Fitness in of itself is part of the broader problem of mortal existence without meaning. Fascists give it their kind of meaning, the meaning of being super, even super-natural. You can find better meaning to bind to fitness if you try, just keep in mind that we live in a society which lives in an ecology.
