15 October 2020 - evolving humans

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

There are stupid questions. People who ask “Are humans still evolving?” show an unfit lack of intellectual curiousity: Either they haven’t learned about it because they’re not curious, or they haven’t thought about how it works because they’re not curious. What could have happened to stop evolution? Does everyone live to childbearing age and have the same number of kids? Yet many do not even ask the question, but assume that evolution has stopped. I regret that it will take many generations for the idiots to die out by natural selection.
