Survival of the Dumbest

That's right. I said it. Charles Darwin and all the naturalists can argue and even put me at the stake and burn me. They would go on to say that only the fit and the selected through natural selection has the ability to adapt to their environment. Where a phrase like "survival of the fittest" becomes relevant is in discussions about what is known in ecology as "selection theory," or ideas about the trade-off between the quantity and quality of an organism's offspring.



Over the centuries it has been a battle, gore and bloody as species tried to dominate and stand the victor. Behavioral repertoires of humans, apes and other mammals have become remarkably complex because of the adaptive advantage they've provided as the time between birth and reproductive maturity has increased. On one hand, this allows for evolutionary fitness to be maintained. 

Now what I want to stress here is about the 21st century where instead of just trying to survive on a biological aspect, it has more to do with how economically you can survive given the impact of globalization. They say knowledge is power. But is it though? Most of the times we see that those who know they have the ability to do well in terms of personal and social wellbeing tend to tone themselves down and go with the flow. It is because they know that when the time, comes, instincts would kick in and they could do more. But for those poor souls who have no clue on what is to be done and are so ignorant of things happening around, they seem to have it easy. They have no worries in the world. And the irony is things turn out well for them. They never had any expectations so whatever they do, it goes in their favor. And do they appreciate this luck? Nope. They still sit, whine and argue on how the world conspires to be against them.

 WAKE UP FOR GOD'S SAKE!! 

You yourselves are putting you down. It's like unconsciously you have tied your leg with a sack of stones and immersed yourself in the ocean. My dear fools (I'm trying to be as polite as I can), you can do better. Smell the coffee and instead of wishing go get a cup you lazy folks.
