Who is selecting who for survival? Also, working hard in the fields is not bad for your health. Sitting on your ass for 8 hours is bad for your health - maybe you can compensate by going to the gym, but most don't... anyways, the point i was trying to make is that the future will be shaped the way we want it to be shaped.
