If you want to accelerate evolution, science & society needs to stop creating processes/services that gives room and allow for the average/weak to live and thrive.

Evolution happens, when nature is allowed to function, Our society today is overriding natures role, in every way possible. Even the trait that everyone wants to think as the main trait for success today isn't really actively promoted. Society want smart/intelligence/knowledgeable people, yet it creates systems for the underperforming, for the useless, and refuses to eliminate the weak.

So, it's not inbreeding or whatsover. It's just science f***ing with what nature was supposed to do.

If nature really was about survival of the fittest, get rid of medicine. That would help get rid of alot of weaklings in the human race.

I feel honored. take your time.

Point 1. Modern medicine increase life expectancy is an ARTIFICIAL augmentation of our lifespan. It doesn't IMPROVE our basic genetic pool, our our fundamental health. We've grown so reliant on it, I would go as far to say it has HINDERED natural selection of those who have better genes.

Point 2. Yes. But the stronger immune system has a higher chance to survive (if under no medical intervention), and on a macro level when a higher percent of those with stronger immune system survives, the overall quality of immune systems in human improve (FYI, this is before any medical intervention)

I'm not saying medicine is bad per se, but when discussed in the context of evolution, medicine&science is meddling with what evolution should be doing.
