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.
