[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5293763, member: 63706"] It sounded like you were saying that, and an extinct warrior class is close enough to the lack of "real men" for the purposes of this conversation. Tbh, warriors are just about as self-destructive a phenotype as you can get in an era of war driven economy. But, the point is that they are more likely to stand up to tyranny. The conditions are selecting for people who are smart enough to insulate themselves from tyrannical governance as possible. Everyone else is pretty much doomed. You know why we have more obesity and sensitivity? It's because the genes responsible for fitness and insensitivity have been thinned out of the gene pool by over a century of war. That doesn't mean they aren't still present, they just simply aren't there in the same concentrations as they would have been without over a century of nearly nonstop war. [/QUOTE]
