  1. Every time a story uses "survival of the fittest" to describe a world where the strongest and not the one who adapts best, survives, I get a little annoyed (probably like you, who reads it, is getting annoyed by my use of commas).
    I mean, sure, it's mostly manhwa slop, but it still annoys me.

  10. #PSA: this is your periodic reminder that “survival of the fittest” is NOT about physical fitness* – it means “the best fit for the local environment, which allows an organism to survive, reproduce, and pass on its traits to its offspring”

    e.g. people who have the genetically inherited disease sickle cell anaemia are generally “less fit” (in a physical fitness / life expectancy sense) than those who don’t have it, but in areas where malaria is endemic, having sickle cell anaemia provides a degree of immunity from the worst symptoms of malaria^ – so people with sickle cell anaemia are “the best fit” (or “the fittest”) for the local environment compared to those who don’t have it 💁‍♀️

  14. @ravenbait @alice
    yep, you're dealing with the patriarchy. sadly a lot of men are so worn out competing with other men in the picking order, they themselves have shit in the game of squid in this hell. they not always have the spine to defend us, for survival's sake.
    & as a non-binary queer disabled immigrant i can't blame them, no offense. #SurvivalOfTheFittest

  16. @RichardJMurphy Great conversation about the #semantics of all this last weekend, with nephew's Italian wife (at #DownHouse!). She'd been taught about 'survival of the strongest' and we talked about translations and meaning, a well-fitting shoe rather than the biggest or strongest shoe, and then the origins of the chloroplast... #Margulis and #Ostrom trump #Dawkins and #Hardin, if it's a competition between theories (Ikr)

    Wie man sieht, muss man für eine Ersatzversorgung tief in die Tasche greifen, oder sich für n Kredit verpflichten. Entweder man kann es oder verkackt.

  26. ⬆️ @GreenFire

    Yes, and I agree with you but only up to a point.

    I am saying that sometimes #Democrats are their #ownWorstEnemy.

    In the real world, it is #survivalOfTheFittest, not the crudest, meanest, or most virtuous.

    Democrats seem unable to #AcknowledgeTheProblem that our survival is at stake. Moral absolutism is not going to help us survive.

    Instead of #virtueSignaling, censuring and forcing party members to resign, we need to #GoBallistic and fight like out survival depends on that.

  28. @peersandtner -das Ziel der rechtslibertären ist, den Staat auszutrocknen, um die private #wirtschaft “einspringen“ zu lassen. Und alles in Zukunft komplett dem Primat der Ökonomie unterzuordnen. Überall. Überleben werden das sogenannte schwache nicht. Es läuft also für die #hayek Apologeten. Was #habeck sagt, ist den #merz und #lindner s durchaus bewusst, weil gewollt…

    #Darwin meinte mit
    " #SurvivalOfTheFittest "
    etwa:

    "Das Überleben der Angepasstesten"

    Es bedeutet NICHT:
    1. Fitter im Sinne von gesund
    noch
    2. stärker (als)

    Das könnten sich die ganzen Nazisschweine und AfD Deppen mal durch den Kopf gehen lassen.

  32. 1000 Day Album Challenge (#74) The Headhunters: Survival of the Fittest (1975) [14.03.24]

    you know some people pray for wealth / but I don′t even own my health
    and when I get on my knees and pray / 'cause the only thing I can say
    that God, God… / God make me funky…

    God Make Me Funky!!

    there’s a reason it’s been sampled hundreds of times. if you don’t know now is the time to fund out.

  33. ⬆️ @ayoubabedrabbo

    >> Yes, that is how this world works.

    You are too young to understand how the real world works. I don't fault you for that. I was similarly idealistic at other points in my life too.

    Beliefs aside, empirical evidence points to #SurvivalOfTheFittest and #possession being 90% of the battle in land disputes. See #China. Compare #Taiwan & #Tibet.

    >> When we die, we all return to the same place, no matter what you may believe

    Purely belief, not provable facts

  35. ⬆️ @barney @brendo @SteveThompson @kyozou

    Someone commented that we're not going to beat the #Republicans by out-Republicaning them. Republicans have turned this once civil country into a jungle, where the supreme law is #SurvivalOfTheFittest.

    A zebra MUST outrun a lion to survive. Dems have to outrun Repubs if we are to survive.

    Basking in Biden glory (much of it unquestionably justified) isn’t enough.

    Snagglepuss is pink.

    Choo-Choo is pink.

    Arlene is pink.

    The Cheshire Cat has pink stripes.

    These cartoon cats indicate that there was an evolutionary branch of felines that developed the pink characteristic in order to survive and passed it on to their descendants, some of whom remained in the "big cats" family; others were eventually domesticated as pink housecats.

  41. @LeilahLilienruh Meines "Wissens" / Gefühls ("dürfen") wir aktuell eine (R)evolution erleben. Weltweit.

    Was es in der #Vergangenheit bereits gab und in #Zukunft geben wird.

    Jede•r darf für sich schauen, so gut es geht "um die Runden" zu kommen und die eigenen Werte zu entdecken und/oder anzupassen.

    (neu) Verbündete zu finden und/oder sich finden zu lassen.
