This is a really thought-provoking piece. Thanks for publishing it, Sieran.

As I see it, the words "strong" and "weak" are so vague and amorphous that they aren't universally descriptive.

To me, an attribute like "kindness" is orthogonal to the strong-weak dichotomy. Kindness isn't strong or weak. It's just kindness.

A term that is interesting to me is "resilient." Resilience is a valuable attribute. And while "strong" and "weak" are vague, "resilience" communicates an idea that is more universally descriptive.
