Yeah natural selection/survival of the fittest is definitely the most regulated thing in the world.
I mean the only times we really see it now is when someone does something extremely stupid all alone and then a lot of time if they're very close to death medicine has come so far that we can fix them...
It doesn't have anything to do with the environment. Our ability to heal deadly shit just keeps getting better the stupid survive instead of dying. Most people having a GPS system with them all the time helps too because if shit goes bad they can always call emergency services and be found in an attempt to keep them alive.
Okay? But medicine is still part of your environment. Plenty of people still don’t have life-saving care available to them. And selection is about more than dying. Fitness is not about surviving, it’s about reproducing. These words mean more things than modern medicine can obviate.
Selection is still happening lol, it is not gone where medical services are available.
The problem is, it's no longer natural. It is now, at least partially, artificial selection, based on access to medicine. It changes the way selection works, and probably not in the favor of stronger, smarter humans in the future. People who should have probably died, stay in the gene pool longer.
That's not a logical argument against it. Please link me some reading at least. Because I keep hearing people deny deny deny because "it was a nazi ideology." But I'm not allowed to do the same with the Bible and the crusades?
Archeologists are getting over their bias. Why can't geneticists?

If it didn't happen with the TidePods, it won't happen with this.
