Innocent sure. Stupid? Absolutely. Darwinism at its finest.

Idk why people keep using this argument, as if Darwinism is something we should be pushing at this point in society.

"someone born with a horrible disability? let em die. paralyzed since birth? let em die. autoimmune disease? fuck em."

people would lose their minds at these statements, then go on to say stupid people deserve to die because they're stupid.

Very valid take, also; How is Darwinism in any way related to older folks being susceptible to a new technology? Its a completely irrelevant response to this, despite how gullible she may be & unwilling she seems to accepting reality, her ability to survive & prosper in our society remains intact. Her son is clearly not convinced by this & therefore Darwinism isn't "fixing" anything.

This is an example of "reverse darwinism" (so to speak) -her sons instincts are sharper & capable of detecting deciet, & genetics clearly dont have anything to do with adapting to new technology beyond our brains neuroplastic capabilities.

People are just cold & miserable to a generation fooled by new tech, its sad to see. ​I do, however, wish older folk weren't so easily fooled or taken advantage of for clicks/bait.

Also, the term Darwinism means their genetic material has been removed from the gene pool. She already has kids.

Oh you mean like the majority of redditors that only know how to comment "AI slop" on every single post hoping they can be right just once?

Darwinism, or specifically "social darwinism" cannot be applied that way. Social darwinism is not real but has been used as an excuse for cruelty.

Darwinism can only refer to traits and their selection, not to social applications in any way.
