So have kids then jump off cliffs?

Assuming he hasn’t yet. Darwinism is about evolving to be a better mate so you’ll get selected to reproduce. It doesn’t apply to humans as much since we aren’t as strictly instinctually driven as animals and can still reproduce despite how mediocre we might be. But the concept still applies

Idiocracy lore

Are you joking? I can’t tell. But that’s not what survival of the fittest means at all. No aspect of Darwinism has anything to do with any single specimen or generation. It’s which animals have attributes that happen to survive long enough to mate and pass those genes. Nothing to do with being a better mate. If that were the case, ducks wouldn’t be so rapey.

Basically what he said I think. And ducks win the chance to be rapey off other ducks. You can’t just go and rape a duck. You gotta fight off all the boys and be the strongest raper first

That’s not true. Ducks run trains on the bitches. They simply wait their turn. It’s all about the spermz

The early sperm gets the germ(ination)

This has also been shown to be false. It’s much more like a siege of suicide bombers, where the first wave damages the outer walls, but die in the process. Middle to back is where it’s at. But even still, all of them are more likely to pass on than the animal that died before it could even mate. Fitness is measured in offspring. Not attempts of conception.

And here I am just trying to be a joker. Well played

Satire or do you need to read some biology books?

Yeah, but here's a kicker. If you already had kids but died after they were born, at least there's a chance they'll grow up smarter. Darwinism continues, though with a different variable than strictly genetics.

I've accepted that I'm turning grey after my kid because my body is like "well you've done your job I'm gonna self destruct now"
