    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:

      society shouldn’t take care of the less fortunate people,

      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.
