Endurance is a part of strength. When has it never been? We're not talking about roided body builders who use their muscles for like two seconds picking something up and then posing.@Paper Machete
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is why are we prioritizing strength?
I don't believe there should be a hierarchy based on strength. I don't believe there should be a hierarchy in regards to any of this in general.
I'm not saying strength isn't an important or useful factor, but as a species, we did not make it as far as we have because of pure strength. If the success of a species was determined by strength, we would be living under apes.
Other factors include intelligence, endurance- to outsmart, to outlive, Intelligence allowed us to create weapons and tools, to utilize our enviorment in a more clever way. Endurance allowed us to live through famines and plagues. Why is strength to be the deciding factor? On that many people deem to be the end all be all?
I suppose I would like to assume most people don't have monkey brain, as you say.
It really doesn't matter what ideological reasons we have for thinking we shouldn't factor in physical aptitude even in areas where it isn't necessarily needed. But we do. We do on an instinctual level. Also, being physically fit is good for your mind too. So if you're talking about valuing intelligence then you should also value being fit. Your body is a holistic system not individual parts atomized from each other.
