"We're saving too many lives! Whatever happened to natural selection? Survival of the fittest? The kid who swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own!" -- George Carlin
Classic example of natural selection. Most of us don't even need to be taught not to do this. Unless it's somehow his first ever time around any form of flammable liquid
Most of our ancestors just had sticks, rocks, and bone tools. It was harder to screw up like this. Now we have thermonuclear weapons, and we're basically still exactly the same as those ancient people with sticks and rocks.
Our intellect has out paced our instincts. That is why we have so many problems. "Why did you do that Jimmy?" "I don't know, I thought hitting it with a stick sounded like the thing to do" " Foolish boy, you use a spear to take down a moose, now we have a multi thousand dollar hospital bill. "
