Perhaps considering that so many smart people choose stupid ones with which to mate, there might be an instinctual drive to re-introduce evolution back into the gene pool.

I saw a woman downtown yesterday and MAN she was hot, she must of had an IQ of at least 156. I said to my buddy, those can't be real brain cells, but I DON'T CARE.

Regards,
Jay

The only way natural selection can work to allow a species to adapt to changing natural conditions is if individuals exhibiting random variations either live to breed or die before they are able to breed, weeding out those without the variation that allows them to adapt to changing conditions.

frankw already implied this in his statements, but it's incorrect. Natural selection says some ancestor(if you have them) has to accidentally(maybe due to UV radiation) grow a coat. Meanwhile you and most of your descendants die from the cold. At the KT the dinosaurs could not adapt to the changed conditions and died off over 200k years.

Instead, with intelligence, what we have is evolving technology responding to changes in natural conditions.

Again, frankw covered this. You can say that with intelligence, what we have is evolving technology responding to changes in synthetic conditions.

Perhaps considering that so many smart people choose stupid ones with which to mate, there might be an instinctual drive to re-introduce evolution back into the gene pool.

Only monks elect to be poorer and childless. This sacrifice extends the longevity of the race.
