To agree that stupid people are breeding more than smart ones

[Holamum]

I read this article and the comments. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22002530

It is not unrealistic that the human race will be extinct one day, especially since the sun is probably finite.

There was a comment on that page that refers to Mike Judge's film Indiocracy - suggesting the problem is that stupid people are breeding more than intelligent people because smart people are more responsible. The film is a comedy but the commentator says 'it's bang on the money on what's happening at the moment'.

I actually found myself agreeing. Most of the intelligent people I know have as many children as they can afford (which is one or two maximum).

AIBU to think this?

oops I'm being over PC again

Natural selection is no more. It would only exist without the nhs and benefits etc.

Survival of the fittest is based onfar more than intelligence.

Now in a natural world that would mean the strongest, fastest,smartest etc survive and the rest are prey. In our world most of the strong get left to fend for themselves in the middle while the weakest are supported to have more children etc in the name of 'fairness'. Then you have a small % of 'intelligent' (read immoral and greedy) people ruling the world and their strength is based on money which is not natural. They play us like fools.

Even in Africa it doesn't really exist. There it is survival of the person who lives closest to the aid camp.
