Bring Back Natural Selection!
I don’t want to be controversial for the sake of being controversial, but this is going to be a rant that some might find a little more objectionable than normal … mainly because it’s less based in humour and I’m actually trying to express an opinion I really hold.
Let’s see how this goes!
Natural Selection is a great thing. Part of the expanded theory of evolution, it describes how nature itself works to eliminate the weak, sick and useless elements of a species, allowing the strong, healthy and contributory to thrive.
It is natural selection that led to humans having opposable thumbs, giraffes having long necks, woodpeckers having long beaks, aye-ayes having that one weird long finger …
Natural selection isn’t something that some scientist invented and is now there to be “believed in” or not. Much like Evolution, it is simply a name that has been given to an observed set of facts that are known to be true. This is NOT what I’m arguing about today – but felt it should be said, in case you were assuming the previous facts were actually opinion. No. They are facts. Facts that I shouldn’t need to justify here, as they are so WIDELY accepted as facts everywhere apart from in the minds of idiots.
Moving on.
We, the human race, have been subject to Natural Selection for millennia, much the same as all other life on the planet. But right now, it seems that everyone with any power at all in the world is trying their hardest to halt, hinder and prevent natural selection from taking place in humans. This seems incredibly stupid to me.
Particularly in the developed western world, it seems we are obsessed with cultivating the poor, the weak, the useless, the sick – to the point that they are a crippling drain on the economies of our countries. Whether it’s within our own borders or directed at developing countries, we continually pump money into activities which only serve to prolong the lives of, and by extension promote the reproduction of, people that do nothing but drain our resources.
Take the disease-ridden mess that is rural Africa. Exactly how much are we helping the situation by sending out aid in a dozen different forms every couple of years, saving thousands … only to end up with thousands more starving, stupid and AIDS/Malaria sufferers to help next time? There has never been a time in the world’s history where real poverty and widespread disease has been at such a level in isolated countries. The developed world is actually cultivating poverty and breeding disease by maintaining this steady flow of money that keeps people just about surviving. In times gone by, the problems would solve themselves. The poor and diseased would simply die out until natural selection ensured that the healthy and intelligent were the majority. I know it sounds harsh, but the only real way to help these countries is to let their weak, helpless and useless die.
Closer to home, governments also spend a massive amount of money and resource on subsidizing the stupid and the lazy. Again, these elements of society, either by choice or by ability, would not support themselves in a way that would allow them to reproduce and thrive. They would have to alter their behaviour or die out – IF they were left to their own devices. But no. We throw money at them, we pay for everything they could possibly want. We allow them to believe that living work-free, responsibility-free and relying wholly on the tax payers to provide their home, food, health care – and everything else from their satellite TV to the nappies their offspring shit in – is a perfectly acceptable way to live.
Well, it isn’t.
The only way forward and out of this destructive cycle is for the intelligent and contributory elements of society – on a national and international scale – to realize that if they pulled back and made others fend for themselves, yes, many would die out. But over time, we would end up with a more highly evolved, better human race with fewer elements of society dragging us down.
If we keep on like this, the stupid, poor, unhealthy, lazy masses will end up outnumbering us to a huge extent, and some member of the animal kingdom, for whom natural selection is NOT being sabotaged will end up rising to take over!
Planet Of The Apes, people!
It could happen!

Good to see there are people smart enough to realize this!
