"That's the ONLY standard of "fitness" a gene has."

I don't think Tench really understands that. So it probably isn't a good time to bring up sickle cell anemia, type I diabetes or Tay Sachs...

Chris, > The "fittest genes" ARE the ones that survive through procreation.

You said it yourself, Chris. It's counterintuitive when you consider that the rich and well-educated are not procreating, but the poor and not-so-well-educated are.

The only "fit genes" in our society are those who know how to screw over those who know how to study and make money?
