Does the survival of the fittest theory apply to humans?

My roommate is an executive assistant.

The executives he has worked for are typically never married and work 12 hours a day every single day. They understand what’s important and what isn’t. A romantic relationship isn’t of much importance in terms of a life of performance.

The word "fittest" in "survival of the fittest" refers to those who are most adapted to the environment to pass on their genes. "Fittest" has nothing to do with the individual making the best choice for themselves with regards to happiness. Only their ability to pass on their genes.

Once you include a choice about whether to mate into the picture, who could possibly think that choosing to enslave oneself is the better (i.e. more fit) choice?

Some men will be happier being married and having children than being MGTOW. It's simply a fact. My choice to be MGTOW isn't invalidated by that fact. It's up to the man and his needs and hopes, and it is up to what way he wants to go taking those needs and hopes into consideration. Taking the red-pill means firstly understanding one's self, and then understanding the world through that lens.

Look at the island with bear grylls, you can see that some traits are more useful that others in some situation.

Some people are more fit to make babies, that doesn’t mean they are more fit to educate them.

Most people aren’t fit for survival, because survival require some traits that aren’t learned, or aren’t useful in our society.

Am accountant in a technological society is fitted for survival, in that he has traits making him useful and thus winning is weekly bread for survival.

So for me yes, it’s survival of the fittest, but as human it’s more about being able to fit into society and be able to change and be adaptable to the situation.

You can be an arrogant intelligent person who nobody want to speak, or a stupid one with high charisma who don’t know anything but know to manage people, and this trait make this person survive, while the other might have an hard time finding is way in the society.

Now reverse the table and put everyone in a life death situation, maybe the intelligent one know how to do things while the stupid one can’t, so again one is more fit. Add more people to this situation and then the intelligent prick stay alone and die because more brain equal more job, while the stupid one with high charisma become the chief.

All is balance and survival fitness at our human stage is more about being able to adapt to a situation than having biological fixed traits like animals.

The fittest are being culled. Humans are being farmed.

I guess if you define 'fittest' as the best slaves able to please the masters; then yeah the fittest are surviving

It doesn’t apply to society these days. Weakness is allowed to propagate.

It once did. Then government started requiring warning warning labels on dry cleaning bags.

Yes, we're animals and we're driven by instinct in the same way dogs, horses and bees are, we may have built skyscrapers and rockets but most people never rise above their programming, all those simps are slaves to their instincts. If they held off on going with the first woman that gives them attention we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. Women have become so bad to deal with because their hypergamy which is an evolutionary mechanism has been allowed to run amok due to the legal system absolving them of responsibility along with the state of dating today.

As a living organism is necessarily does. Ultimately MGTOW is maladaptive. We do not reproduce and are therefore an evolutionary dead end. So, in that sense, we are unfit for the environment. But MGTOW is not a reproductive strategy it is a self preservation strategy.

"Survival of the fittest" is a statement on who is able to successfully reproduce. It's not a matter of who is "the best". Basically, you're arguing against the movie's premise. The point is that smart characters held off from having children while stupid people bred like rabbits. The stupid people were able to reproduce the most. In that sense, they were the fittest for that environment/society.

A lot of MGTOWs can successfully reproduce; we simply choose not to do so.

You know it's just a theory right with no prof to the actual premise of evolution and proven false several times. And your point has nothing to do with survival but everything to do with how we are raised over our instincts to reproduce and live our lives free is not instinct but being part of the group is instinct for survival.

The fact that you bought into the origin of a species and all the beliefs of modern history and culture proves only you have been Indoctorated into the group as part of your raising in society.
