I think you're confusing the regression of American society with that of the entire human race.
I think the regression of American society is a result of stupid people becoming a majority in this country. It’s the regression of the human race in America.

Half of the country are absolute retards.

If you think the human race is regressing, go watch a sporting event from the 60’ or 70’s and compare to today. Also look at things like cars, ovens, medical procedures, etc. All have progressed immensely.

Shame used to be a real thing. In the past a child born out of wedlock was a bastard and most of the time left out of the will. That seems to be forgotten also.
. Yes same thing with killing witches, can’t believe that has been forgotten about. Shame on us!!

What species of wild animal doesn’t subscribe to this? Fish?

You ever see a crippled buck breed a doe? A retard wolf lead a pack?

Not sure strong is the right word. Most fit/adaptable to a given environment. There are many factors, for instance a species that can have more off spring at a time has an evolutionary advantage. Some species suck, they are weak and dumb, like possums or rats, but they can reproduce and adapt

I’m talking about each individual species. In each species, the strong and intelligent ones survive. The weak and stupid either starve or are killed by other animals. Just to use deer as an example. The largest, strongest bucks fight other bucks for the right to breed does. They pass their good genetics onto their progeny. This is the way for almost all animal species.

It basically used to be like this in ancient history for mankind.

BTW, most large and strong bucks are also very smart and cunnning and live to be several years old because of this. Large and stupid, not so much.

Even this isn't true. Luck, luck is the great equalizer. Being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time drive evolution just as much as fitness and adaptability.

Strong, fit, easily adaptable but no mate: no luck.
Strong, fit, easily adaptable but no resources: no luck.

The human race is regressing. Just look at social media.

I don’t know that is necessarily true. Have you ever seen a bunch of rats? They are all basically doing the same thing. Their advantage is they can live almost in any condition and have tons of off spring. Also, a ton of things were done in ancient times that were abhorrent, we have way more intellect and compassion than other species. But even Neanderthals cared for their weak and injured. Are you suggesting we should be below that?

Well yeah, but we can all agree that evolution is based on survival of the fittest and the most evolved of the species. The most physically and intellectually will survive. Both human and animal.

Strong and stupid will likely not survive. Weak and intelligent will likely not survive. Both traits are required.

Every time I go to Europe I find it noticeable that as a whole they are thinner, fitter people overall and that walking and bicycling is part of their daily lives. Their diets are also much better because they don't eat the processed shite we are fed here. I lost almost 8 lbs in three weeks in Spain in May and I ate and drank to my hearts content.

In before you're a fatty. I'm not.

Exactly the type of thing a fatty would say.

No, I’m not suggesting that.

But we are on a path to destruction. Mostly because of the educational system in this country.

No, we all do not agree with that view on evolution.

Strong/Weak (undefined) and intelligent/stupid (undefined).

Until you define the terms, you're just spinning your wheels.

Yes. Too much reliance on computers. Making us dumber from the top down.

Ok so the educational system, that’s something tangible and can be improved upon. All of the rah, rah, only the strong survive BS really has no place.
