Alternatively, I've felt for a while that we need to stop reversing Darwinism and start helping it.
We coddle, cure, and protect people who degrade our gene pool. If we stopped putting time and effort into curing and treating genetic disorders, or only offered treatment to people who had no children and agreed to sterilization, we could do a small bit of population control and strengthen our genetics as a species going forward.
Diabetes has been identified since at least 1500 BC. Up until the 1920s we had zero effective treatments for it. But type 1 diabetes didn't die out over those 3,500 years.

Evolution doesn't work the way you think it does.

His argument is that if we would just be a little edgier and stop treating genetic disorders, they'd be so heavily selected against that soon we as a population would stop having genetic disorders. That's dumb as poo poo. Diabetes is just an example of why it's dumb.

"I'm not saying we should slaughter people, we should just refuse to treat them so they die horribly, or maybe sterilize them"
