Phalenar: "Natural Selection of Stupidity": Natural Selection of Stupidity How was our unique way of thinking allowed us to shape the world to our desires in incredible ways, but also to consistently make absolutely the worst possible choices despite it being very clear what bad ideas they are? In shor: How can we put a man on the moon and yet still send THAT text to our ex? It all boils down to the ways that our brains evolved. The thing is that evolution, as a process, is not smart -but it is at least dumb in a very persistent way. All that matters to evolution is that you survive the thousand possible horrible deaths that lurk at every turn for just long enough to ensure that your genes make it through to the next generation. If you manage that, job done. If not, tough luck.
