Have you read the sacred esoteric text of /fitlit/?

>Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. ... Our strength, more than any other thing we possess, still determines the quality and the quantity of our time here in these bodies. Whereas previously our physical strength determined how much food we ate and how warm and dry we stayed, it now merely determines how well we function in these new surroundings we have crafted for ourselves as our culture has accumulated. But we are still animals – our physical existence is, in the final analysis, the only one that actually matters. A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence.

Why does this make people so angry?

The opening paragraph of this book posits that strength is more important than any form of intellectual or spiritual enlightenment:

>Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. ... Our strength, more than any other thing we possess, still determines the quality and the quantity of our time here in these bodies. Whereas previously our physical strength determined how much food we ate and how warm and dry we stayed, it now merely determines how well we function in these new surroundings we have crafted for ourselves as our culture has accumulated. But we are still animals – our physical existence is, in the final analysis, the only one that actually matters. A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence.

Pay attention to the last two lines... I feel this introduction is directed at those that have indeed chosen to neglect physical training in pursuit of things which they believe transcend strength. Do you think he makes a compelling case?
