The issue isn’t whether people should be allowed to risk their lives—it’s whether people should be allowed to make other people chose between risking their lives or risking their livelihoods.
This is propaganda, this programming. We’re supposed to care about education, because education and media literacy is your key out of poverty and your key to understanding things. Republicans overwhelmingly pushed “Traditional Christian Values” as an excuse to axe education and science literacy throughout the 2000’s. These are the poor people you’re supposed to want to help, but the division created by this absurd “culture war” created by corporate and social media has conditioned you to believe otherwise. Propaganda works, just as they are conditioned to fear, which leads to anger. To hate, which leads to suffering. They see everything they don’t immediately understand as a threat. So too, are we pushed into ideas of superiority, as if we are better than them. That they’re irredeemable and the cause of our life’s woes. Positioning this as anything less than an attack on the working class by the wealthy elite as they seize power across the world is just playing into their hands. It is ignorant and it is wrong. We must defeat the corporatists who have robbed us of our wealth, our unity and our civil discourse. You see how many people turned out in Idaho, for Bernie Sanders of all people. The working class recognise that the Trump administration does not represent them. It is not about right or left, it has never been about right and left it is always wealthy elites positioning the majority against eachother, while they continue to rob us blind, devalue our currency and stoke the flames of societal collapse. Do not entertain it, do not comply.
Seems to me you’re trying to use some evolutionary, survival-of-the-fittest just-so story to argue that society shouldn’t take care of the less fortunate people, including those who vote for Trump because they’re not so smart. It’s a very fascist sounding position. In fact, most attempts to draw lessons for modern society from more or less cooked up evolutionary history are just right-wing propaganda dressed in a sciencey frock.
If you have time to watch a long but entertaining video about this subject, I recommend this one:

You can’t have both in anything resembling a democracy…
If stupid people live, stupid people vote. Because stupid people think they’re smart.
The more we protect the dumbest the larger percentage of voters they make up

I’m pretty sure you drastically misunderstood my comment…
The irony is more than enough for me, thank you.
Yep, I flat out said it, and it didnt stop it from happening at all
Even from people who don’t know how to o make multiple paragraphs…

Nope.
Saying that if one person dies from drunk driving without a seatbelt at highschool …
The rest of the kids tend to wear a seatbelt and not drunk drive for a while.
Because they have the negative consequence example.
Without those examples, a lot more stop caring about negative consequences.
It’s not that complicated, but I can admit that a lot of people seem to be confused by my comment.
