You're right, who's smarter? The people who manage to reproduce thus pass on their genes or the ones that are "too smart" not to?
- zo1 4y agoYou could say they're winning, but they are essentially abusing the good-will of society by imposing the care of their offspring onto society instead of caring for them themselves. It may sound bad, but in my mind, purposefully bringing children into the world without security to care for them seems immensely evil and selfish.

- missedthecue 4y agoThe person who won the evolution game only has a more adept ability and grasping, retaining, and applying concepts, especially at high levels. I remember people at University who so easily managed to apprehend abstract concepts while I would struggle for hours. They weren't necessarily more or less intelligent, but they were wired differently and could clearly operate at a higher level.
- ralusek 4y agoThis statement is like saying "who's really the strongest, the strongmen or the lady who won the marathon?"
- dqpb 4y agoIt’s more like saying “Whose more productive, the Engineer or the Farmer?”.
