They don't have the money to have six either, they just do. Then they're neglected and perpetuate the cycle.

I think the advent of monetary economics actually started the dilution. This is why today you see Amazon race horse females laying for a wiener dog of a man. He has money.

genetic diversity and variation is a good thing. if we can ‘carry’ the weak now, they may have beneficial genes later.

the thing about natural selection is that it references the most fit genes for the given environment. environments change. There is no set of characteristics that are superior in every environment.

Darwins finches diverged bc selective pressure due to available food being better suited for either large or small beaks, not medium size. It had nothing to do with ‘stength’ of the birds, just characteristic matching the environment. Your idea of strongest in regard to evolution is misguided, although i agree there are too many soy boys just like there are too many unaware folks such as yourself.


If a bottleneck event comes along that wipes out everybody over 5'10", I'm set, baw.

Yep, let's let politicians decide who's allowed to reproduce. What could possibly go wrong?

Government should shift it's resources in such a way to allow that young professional couple to have more children, stress free.


How is that possible, especially for government? It’s just inherently more stressful to care for 6 kids than it is for 3. It’s not just about money; there are so many other responsibilities that multiply with more kids.

When one of those 'weaker' babies is yours, come back and post in this thread how easy it was to let it just go ahead and die.

I think it’s nice that life expectancy went from 45 to 75 in the last 150 years

Stupid people do most of the reproducing.

95% of the population growth is in backward countries.

That is the opposite of evolution.

sorry about the truth offending anybody

Welfare and incentivizing poor people to crank out kids out of wedlock does more to contribute to the idiocracy than modern medicine.


Worth re-posting. Again and again.

I used to believe this, but I don't think the cognitively inferior in this country understand or act in any way that is economically rational from the perspective of economists.

The current people we are discussing were producing at high rates before the advent of the welfare state, and before the advent of modern medicine. And in the countries around the world with the highest fertility rates, they have neither modern medicine or a welfare system.

Over the last 100 years the advancement in medicine has saved the lives of weaker babies that would not have survived during any other time in human history. These babies grow to reproduce and further weaken the gene pool. The strongest are no longer the only ones to survive. A good example is the limp wrist, 57 different gender, pink haired, inhaler sucking, Psychotropic drug taking pussies running around. Open the damn country. We need a thinning of the herd.

Rant on [off]



Seems to me that nature is not emphasizing traits which are no longer as necessary to help with the continuation of our species.
