@Based_Accelerationist that’s why I’m more of a trans humanist, I believe we need to have technologies such as Artificial Wombs, Waifu Robots, Gene Splicing, etc to break out and not be limited by the reproductive bottleneck of human reproduction.

@Based_Accelerationist in most sexual dimorphic species, the female doesn’t necessarily have complete control over who reproduces, also do you define natural selection as the genes that are allowed to persist, or the ones better in the long term?

@Based_Accelerationist all I’m saying is what we have now is not natural selection, nothing about the modern sexual marketplace is natural. There isn’t any point in history that I can point to that is exactly like ours in terms of mating/relationships. Women aren’t selecting men for long term survival advantages anymore, they are selecting men who look good in the short term. What we have now is an extreme example of rampant sexual selection, most of history was not this way.

@Based_Accelerationist I disagree, Rehab Room talks about an Extinct Species called The Irish Elk(Megaloceros). The Irish Elk is an example of hyper sexual selection, where the females selected males with the largest antlers, until it came to a point where their antler were too large and required a tremendous amount of energy. When the climate changed, and they couldn’t find enough food to maintain their antlers they died out. So what’s more important longterm survival skills or looking better.

@Zeb in the video rehab room does a good job explaining how people often conflate natural selection/sexual with each other, to justify the current era. I even hear a lot of gurus say “women have always controlled reproduction” which was definitely not true when you look at history.

“What we have today isn’t natural selection, but a very aggressive form of sexual selection.”
