You realize that "survival of the fittest" was not a phrase coined by Charles Darwin? That is not what he studied or taught. You mooks need to look past biology 1001 and Wikipedia.


As HoustonGumbeauxGuy posted on the 1st page of this very thread, Darwinism is a theory that inherent dynamic forces allow only the fittest persons or organizations to prosper in a competitive environment or situation. I.E. "survival of the fittest".

You really should learn not to talk down to people. Particularly when you have no fricking clue what you're discussing.

Just food for thought.

Wrong.

Darwin never studied persons or organizations in that capacity.

So when was that definition written? Did "Darwin" approve? Y'all keep saying "Darwin" when somebody makes a poor decision and dies.

That is in complete concert with what he studies and taught.

I keep saying "Darwinism".

You should take your own advice. Read.

Sorry. Some bastardization of Darwin's studies don't mean Darwinism.

Well, according to scholars it does. You saying "nu-uh" doesn't change that.

ETA: I will admit that I worded it poorly. I should have said "a theory of Darwinism is survival of the fittest", as it has several that have stemmed from it. That still doesn't make your stance any less ignorant.

I just wanted to clarify a bit.

Those scholars also made "catfish" a verb. And not actually catching catfish.

Selfie, dubstep, fangirl, freegan, tweep.

All from your scholars.

I'm still waiting for anything from you that proves what I've said to be incorrect.

That "survival of the fittest", while overly simplified for the purposes of this discussion, isn't a central theme at the core of Darwinism.

I have to prove you wrong? Darwin did not study or formulate any theories that say humans making bad decisions is a part of human evolution. You show me where he did.

See how easy misdirection is?

You're in here calling other people stupid who are providing proof that you're wrong.

No one is using misdirection.

ETA: I'm genuinely curious whether you know what Darwinism actually is at this point.

Sorry bub. A bastardization of Darwin's studies my Meriam Webster means as much much to me as their legitimization of "tweep."

That is not proof. And I don't even have a BS in biology.

Apparently it has nothing to do with a species adapting and has everything to do with one kid in India pulling the wrong trigger.

Do you honestly not understand that Darwinism is not limited to Charles Darwin's original theories and only that?

You can't honestly believe that it doesn't include expanded views since his findings....No one is actually that stupid, are they?

Exactly. I believe "Darwinism" is limited to his theories. You show me how that is more unreasonable that stretching it to "this a-hole stepped on a live wire. Darwin!"

ETA: This POS got shot in the back during a drug deal. "Darwin."
