What about my understanding of evolution is incorrect, and how do you see natural selection working in present humans? Very possible that Dunning-Kruger is at play, but we may have to agree to disagree as to where...

I'll get back to you on that. Seriously, I just don't have time rn but I'll edit this when I have a chance within the next 24 hrs. The second half of your question is particularly difficult to answer.

Ok I just accidentally wiped my entire edit before saving. Fuck that, I'm not writing all that again. God damn it that was such a good response too. Sorry.

It'd be wasted on you, as my previous insights have been. But yeah, evolution doesn't exist, genetics don't exist, whatever helps you sleep at night buddy.

There's nothing different between me and LeBron James, I'm just not trying hard enough to dunk ๐Ÿ˜…. If only I made the choice to dunk the basketball, independently of the fact that my ancestors are not particularly tall. But my ancestors are irrelevant, as you've clearly asserted.
