i don’t really. scientists have found people took care of the elderly and sick and disabled as far back as the stone age, despite these people making it difficult for the abled to survive. we take care of each other

@SW-User Why does almost no one seem to know, that fittest means best adapted to their environmeant not their physical condition?

@dondon you mean to tell me people in wheelchairs are best adapted to their environment? a world made for people not in wheelchairs?

@SW-User That's not what I said, although they would outperform any athelete on a downhill race. But the fact that people take care of each other for instance is a trait that offers greater survival.

@dondon how does it offer greater survival taking care of sick people in the stone age, wasting resources on people who are likely to die anyway?
