    we’re slowly evolving away the dumbest and most dangerous of the population

    Do you believe that exposure to misinformation is a consequence of genetics? Like, people are just born with an ear uniquely tuned to anti-vax radio, television, and social media?

    Now they’re building up like cord wood, and starting to smolder.

    “RFK Jr is getting his eugenics backwards” is one hell of a take.

      I believe vulnerability to misinformation is an effect of genetics, and this puts pressure on those genes to go extinct as they are not suited for survival.
