No one with a cyber truck knows how to camp 😹

@LALegault @lolgop @blogdiva I checked a sporting goods site, and just for comparison, an eight-person tent goes for around $300.

The cyber truck is the physical manifestation of a blue check now.

@LALegault I thought the Cybertrück was the vehicular equivalent of this… 😂

@KatM @blogdiva @LALegault @foolishowl @lolgop “this would help produce ‘men who are tough, men who are resourceful, men who are strong enough to survive,’”

Here they go conjuring natural selection, while forgetting humans’ greatest adaptation and advantage is our ability to work together.

This subverts that adaptation because they don’t want it.

If this makes them sterile, let them do it. That’s natural selection at work.

@ramsey @KatM @blogdiva @LALegault @lolgop There's a pattern of mistaking eugenics for natural selection. And eugenics is based on persistent false beliefs common in animal husbandry.

@foolishowl @KatM @blogdiva @LALegault @lolgop The phrase “survival of the fittest” is often misunderstood to mean “strongest.”

I always thought Charles Darwin was all about going to the gym.

@ramsey I grew up with a Darwinist who (I kid you not) read us aloud Darwin and the Beagle. “Survival of the fittest” is meant to explain Natural Selection - or those living things that survive their environments through anomalies and/or evolution. Giraffes with the longest necks and legs (anomaly) could reach more leaves and therefore prevailed and gave birth to more long necked giraffes. It’s less about strength than it is about adaptation or good luck.

@KatM @foolishowl @blogdiva @LALegault @lolgop Speaking of giraffes, their long neck adaptation has fascinated scientists for years, since it’s not quite clear what advantage it provides, and the lengthening of the next appears to go back much further than we previously thought. https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/wild-things/how-giraffe-got-its-long-neck
