General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Evolution Will Not Favor Those Who Refuse Vaccination [View all]No doubt about it. Yet that is most often the case on the individual level, though raw intelligence of individuals -- or the lack of it -- can influence the outcome for larger groups facing any number of crises. In the current circumstances, there are a significant number of otherwise intelligent people behaving in other-than-intelligent ways. This has to do with the ability to adapt to threats to group survival, or, in this case, the absolute inability to respond to threats in a meaningful way. Thus, in that context, I certainly agree that it does include evolution -- for the evolution of humanity today will not be mechanical, but can only be the evolution of human consciousness -- and the republicans today are living proof that human evolution can not evolve unconsciously.
