    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.
