The Misconception of Survival of the Fittest

Survival of the fittest is actually a total scam. Darwin didn't care about your bench

press or how fast you can run. In the game of evolution, fitness is literally just a scoreboard

of who had the most surviving kids. If you are the strongest creature on earth but don't pass on

your genes, you lose. And here is the wild part, sometimes it isn't

even about skill. It is just dumb luck. We call that genetic drift.

If a volcano erupts, being strong won't save you. You exist today solely because your

ancestors were lucky enough to survive and successful enough to replicate.
