“What we have today isn’t natural selection, but a very aggressive form of sexual selection.”
@I_AmTheKnight It's all natural selection.
But more importantly, women selecting men is MUCH better, than what we have had before, except for the collectivists and incels.
And it should be really obvious why. The men who survived were, for the most part, the ones who formed the largest groups, followed the most orders and put the collective over the individual. If you were some Chad who didn't want to bend the knee to the king and lived in a small community, you were screwed. Now they rule.
@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.
@I_AmTheKnight You disagree with what, specifically? That doesn't counter anything I said.
There are countless species where females select males (like most birds), sexual selection is part of natural selection. Beauty is often correlated with health/survival skills but females don't care exclusively for beauty either.
Nature makes mistakes, species go extinct every day, but of course there's a youtube channel somewhere that hyper-focuses on the one example that reinforces their narrative.
@I_AmTheKnight Remember there are plenty of liars in the manosphere, with the goal of making white men believe their own women are the issue and that if only the government takes women's rights away, all problems are magically solved. In reality, men are the ones enforcing the tyranny and women are neither the brain nor the brawn, that's Jews and Judeo Christians.
If the government were to take women's rights away, men would only comply harder and spawn even more slaves for them to weaponize.
@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 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 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.
@I_AmTheKnight No single variable has complete control over reproduction, women are just another one of those variables. Natural selection simply means gene selection that isn't done in a lab.
There's no guarantee the genes that persist are "better", especially since genes can both be good and bad depending on the situation and they often carry some cost.
Plenty of species that found out the hard way their "optimal" genetics were the cause of their downfall (and females weren't to blame).
