Natural Selection?

Though some of you might say rightly so that in this instance natural selection has become sort of twisted, I might actually agree with you. However, I think natural selection has always been sort of twisted to begin with.

For example, what happened when species lived in places with marginal food and water instead of plentiful food and water? Only the most resourceful among that species survived. The same is true today among the human race competing for survival. Only the most resourceful will survive.

So, that resourcefulness has as much to do with WHERE one chooses to live on earth in addition to HOW one lives on earth in addition to WHAT culture one lives in in addition to one's natural genetics and intelligence and opportunities.

However, as time moves on it is not just physical "NATURAL SELECTION" it is also digital natural selection as well.

I think it is a balance of how much people know or don't know about electronics and the Internet and smart phones and devices as opposed to how little they know.

It seems to me there is a balance point somewhere. In other words isn't someone completely "off the Grid" electronic wise safer without any knowledge whatsoever of having anything electronic ever at all?

That argument could be made because no secrets of that person would be known necessarily unless they have a birth certificate and a passport or Driver's license or something like that. So, if they got paid cash and only used cash and didn't have a bank account or a birth certificate or passport or driver's license they could be completely off the grid and unknown to any system.

For example, many people when I was in India in the 1980s asked  to return home to the U.S. with us. Hundreds of people asked us to go home with us. They said they would literally do anything or become life long servants in order to do this. However, even if you wanted to do this and found someone perfect to be an ongoing baby sitter or something like that you could not bring them home with you because they had no passport, no birth cerificate, no education, no driver's license. In other words in some ways they did not exist to the world because of having no identification at all. Likely, there are still billions of people like this around the world now who never had birth certificates or any education at all and so literally don't exist legally speaking.

Are they better off than the rest of us in some ways? One of my answers might be: "YES".
