As for Social Darwinism, I KNOW what it is, and like I stated, it has nothing to do with Darwins theory on evolution and survival of the fittest. As i've said, the whole 'Darwin Awards' thing is just stupid, and makes no sense if your comparing it to true darwinism. And I know Darwins theory has nothing to do with athleticism, I pointed that out earlier. But Darwins theory points to the idea that it takes far more than brains for most species to survive. It has nothing to do with intelligence, some of the dumbest species in the world are also the hardiest. And that is why the whole Darwin Awards thing makes no sense.

No, im not teaching, I know most of you, you especially, refuse to learn anything or admit that anyone else could teach you anything. Perhaps you even do know the difference between actual darwinism and the topic of this thread. Nothing irks me more than than someone using a term to describe something totally different than what that term actually means. If they were called the 'Idiot awards' or 'Dumbfuck Awards', or the 'People who got what they deserved awards', i'd be all for it. But I hate the fact that the legacy left by a brilliant biologist are these so called 'Darwin Awards', when his research is some of the most important in our history and was the start of our research on genetics, yet instead everyone equates it with that shit.

The "adaptation" in this case, or "thick heavy coat" to use your analogy, is intellectual ability; the lack thereof (what we modernly refer to as being a dumbass who is just taking up space and wasting oxygen) is the lack of adaptation to the needs of the environment (in this case, an environment containing high-rise buildings with a high floor balcony). To continue your analogy, the individual can be big and strong but lack that "big heavy coat" of intellectual ability lead to the environment winning the battle (i.e. he fell off the balcony because he was an idiot). I did a position paper about this in college as a Biology major which was much better worded than the above, however, my head hurts so this is the best I can do right now.

I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head there Particle...
What I wanna know is where did something like "planking" actually get enough attention to become something people wanted to do? You couldnt pay me to lay down and let other people pile on top of me, nor have I any interest in being that close to someone else's ass. Drugs or alcohol must have been involved... |

![]() OK maybe even the "best" people make mistakes or do stupid things when they're drunk or having fun, but one could make the argument that if they possessed superior breeding & genetics, they'd be less likely to do stupid shit. You can't argue with the fact that many mental/personality attributes are passed down by your parents. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-19-2011 at 01:18 PM.. |
