A living being is constantly adapting. This is why a highly trained athlete can revert to a "normal" physique and aerobic capacity in only a year or two of chronic inactivity. Conversely, an untrained person can get "in good shape" in a relatively short time. Usually the untrained person makes big gains from 0 quite rapidly, but diminishing returns set in.
Much of "training" resembles play activities in children and young animals. We have a kitten in our house. He's about 4 months old now and is still extremely full of energy. He spends a lot of time running around and climbing and play stalking, or hiding, or play hunting string and toys. Children do many of the same things a puppy, kitten, bear cub, etc... do. I remember climbing trees, jumping out of trees, jumping from high places, learning to dive and roll, etc... as a child. All that activity is building up the sense of balance and neural pathways relating body position to the center of mass and balance.
Much of that activity ceases as people (or animals) transition to adulthood. Life becomes "serious". For animals, however, they engage in daily physical activity that continues training them. For many men and women though, especially in the western world, they become almost entirely sedentary. The "wealthy" can become pathologically sedentary so they rarely lift a thing heavier than a cup of coffee and spend all their time sitting or sleeping.
That pathologically sedentary life becomes part of the plan of cities and homes. Any impediment to the easiest form of getting from "A" to "B" is literally removed or leveled and covered in concrete or pavement. The reformatting of the world doesn't stop there! Oh, no, it's just getting started.
The "leftist" takes it even further. I think Ted K does a good job of explaining this concept. The leftist wants to reformat the world so women, disabled or drug addicts or bums are "equals" to everyone else. There's a Kurt Vonnegut short story that lampoons this concept where talented and strong people are penalized with weighted vests and the like so the weak can be "equal".
The "leftist" is ultimately "religious" in that her ultimate wish/fantasy is to disconnect the ego construct from physical reality. Since this is impossible, this fantasy mutates into a plan to reformat the 3D human world into a game fit for their particular mental model of reality. I think there are several groups with a similar model of reality but with completely different reasoning and desired outcomes.
It is interesting to step back and view the relationship of the inner world "ego" construct and the 3D reality world from the perspective of different groups. (This is the broad scheme of the movie Conan the Barbarian (1982))
The "social justice warrior" of the current day, typically a gay, or a woman, generally a physically weak person somehow got everyone else to play the equality game. The equality game is really the "disembodied ego" game. The notion of physicality itself, in the sense of adversity or hard work is stripped away. This fits in well with the "Internet world". The inner world self, which arises from symbolic representations, can ooze directly into the computerized symbol world. There are many fanciful or fictitious representations of the self in that world, for example, "filters" applied to photographs can transform a very average looking person to a very attractive person in social media. It seems like Asian people have some kind of weird addiction to that concept.
The money-people are actually really similar to the lefty people and it's not a surprise that they often align with that group. Their mental model is all about money. They're not interested in actually "doing" things, as they are in "making money" in any way they can. It's not surprising Jeffrey Epstein, for example, was aligned with a bunch of "leftists" like Noam Chomsky. Epstein, a sexual predator literal flesh trafficker who seemingly abducted women and sold them and possibly had them murdered would chat with lefty people about "equality". The money people view everything in the world as an item to buy and sell and markets to control. That concept spans many different groups.
