Along the same vein, these people are never forced to choose between actual starvation and making better decisions. There's always a safety net right there. It's not the pretty, glamourous one they want in their socialist government, but it's there. I'm in Texas and you see people on the news 24 hours into a winter storm that don't have any food. 24 hours, really? Suggest they could have been better prepared and they can't because <insert some leftist hardship here>. Being prepared is for the rich. It doesn't matter that if these people would cut back one pack of cigarettes a week or one Starbucks coffee they'd be covered. You can't ask them to do that. Instead you are supposed to swoop in either as taxpayer or charity and save them.
We've entered an era where evolutionary pressures are no longer present, so all the organisms that are unfit to survive are instead thriving and ruining the evironment we inhabit. God forbid you point that out because then they'll all get together and call you a monster to get you thrown out of society.
We can't run away from this problem. We have to find a way to fight it.
This isn't actually possible.
Evolution is a process that happens on systems that can reproduce and mutate. You can't stop it. You can only change the criteria on which it operates, but even those criteria are still subject to fundamental natural forces.
You know what he meant. The evolutionary process has shifted away from the preservation of the human species in a sustainable and healthy capacity.
