      Exactly. I love it. These people are basically self pruning their evolutionary branches all by themselves!

      There should be a Darwin awards category for this

        Intelligence pruning itself out of a malicious environment isn’t really a great showcase of evolution.

        It’s not technically incorrect - we are changing, but a species actively taking steps backwards by inflating itself with idiots doesn’t quite hit that stronger/faster/smarter progression that the concept of evolution implies.

        These are darwinism’s death throes.

        Evolution determined by mating is basically over for humans. In the time it takes a species to meaningfully change, humans will be genetically engineered.
