Is it normal that i think we should just let natural selection take its course?

In modern day first world countries we’ve pretty much stopped natural selection altogether and seeing as the world’s already very overpopulated I think we should go back to letting the weaker members of society die off. I don’t think we should give benefits to disabled or retarded people and if people are too incompetent to take care of themselves and their children then we should just let both die. The same goes for people in poverty and the homeless. I think as a society we should stop propping up the weakest members and let natural selection do its thing.

  • If that were the case, you would already be dead and wouldn’t be able to post such trash, but we can always dream.

    First, I would like to say anyone who calls for the death of children should die themselves. As the King Missile song goes "As a fellow former fetus, I wish you had been an abortion."

    Second, you think we shouldn't give benefits to the disabled. What about firefighters, police, soldiers and all the others who have sacrificed themselves for our benifit who have been disabled on the job? To hell with them right? And what about those who do contribute to our society after they are disabled? Sorry Steven Hawking all that work in astrophysics doesn't matter.

    Third, people in poverty and the homeless. Wealth is not part of natural selection. All the digital zero's in the world will not save you from a desperate person. If you do as you suggest it's only a matter of time until the poor rise up and start taking from the rich. And not by asking.

    Welfare isn't just about propping up weak people. It's about protecting the economy and society for everyone. Masses of starving tend to revolt and kill the rich people. It's better for the rich if the poor have basic means; enough to keep putting money back into the economy (a good thing for everyone) and are fed well enough to stop them rioting and causing a ruckus.

    And natural selection never stops. We've just changed the environment and the traits being selected. But anyway, ethics aside, I'm pretty sure that what you're proposing would just cause more problems for the people who are fit enough to support themselves.
    If it weren't for that though, I think what you're suggesting would be much more likely to happen. I don't think people in power support the poor out of the goodness of their hearts.

    I can see that as a misguided plebeian, you need to do extra thinking here.

    Firstly, placated poor people contribute to social order. This social order protects us, the elite 1%. Crazed poor people will break any law, destroy any building, steal anything if necessary to survive. It is best for the government to make sure that the lowest 20% are mildly obese to lessen this threat. The resulting diabetes epidemic makes them miserable, but so what? Trailer park trash can buy veterinary insulin to shoot up really cheap.

    Secondly, the greater problem is that addictive drugs fuel social destruction. Special ops snipers must clandestinely kill drug lords in foreign countries on sight with 500m kill shots.

    Who is strong in 2018? The marathon winner that is dumb as a rock? Or that dude in the wheel chair that speaks genius with his cheek? (Stephen Hawking). Have a direction for your eugenics.

    Absolutely, there's only so many people you can support. If you keep letting the retarded life then that burden becomes greater and greater until eventually, it's back-breaking. Not that it's really a big issue anyway, we've completely fucked evolution with other things, contraception, abortion, benefits, looking after the retarded is just a drop in the bucket we're already fucked from an evolutionary perspective. The poor breed the most and that's how it's going to be.

  • No. If the person is suffering or will never have a full life, then yes. But if they can still live a happy life, then they should be helped.

    Humans are only as strong as the weakest link...
    that doesn’t mean we should kill all the weak links in life. Just because they seem invaluable in one aspect, they are valuable in many others.

    • Nothing like. The Nazis killed people based off their race/religion/sexuality. Im just suggesting we go back to a system where only the strongest survive and that has kept many species alive for thousands of years.

        That's where the Nazis started. Then they started arguing that people of certain races/religions/sexualities were weaker.

        You are literally advocating for Nazism, you just haven't gone as far as they did yet. Yet.

    There seems go be a major lack of morality.

    • I don’t believe in morality. Nothing is right or wrong to animals, morality is just something we invented to give ourselves some sort of higher purpose.

        Nothing is right or wrong to animals because they can't comprehend the difference. It's not that we're just giving ourselves a higher purpose, it's that we are better than animals. We rely on our intellect instead of instincts.

          notice ALSO that animals rarely do anything "wrong"..just adding to your argument against the IDIOT

          I have a feeling i know who this OP is, and their intellect is closer to that of a small animal. so it makes some sense

        • We’re still animals. Humans can be the most violent beasts of all, we just mask it behind false things such as morality because we’re so desperate to feel superior.

            It's not false. It's just that you're amoral.

            • Yes, I'm amoral so because morality is subjective, as far as I'm concerned, nothing is right or wrong

          Of course animals no right and wrong. Obviously you have never caught a pet doing something know not to do.

            Forget about pets. They're trained and taught how to act. Even then, they don't really know what morality is, they just know what you disapprove of. Take any animal of the wild, they have no morals. This isn't a debate. They simply don't have the mind to think about morality.

              Same could be said for humans. You do know morals are learned behavior and vary according to tribe/social needs right?

              Of course it's a debate. You aren't the authority here.
