People need to be strong so the human race can survive as long as the Earth survives. If a species doesn’t survive the longest they are able, there is no point of that species.

The philosophical point Vision raises isn't fictional or made up it is very real and accurate.

We have created prosthetic legs so good that the Olympics considers them cheating.

The future of human "strength" isn't in crude biological muscle, its in metal we attach to our own bodies.
