I’ll get into it more later if you’re interested but our political and economic systems make some basic seemingly obvious assumptions about human evolution incorrect. Keep in mind that with many species it’s evolutionarily advantageous not to concern yourself with the well-being off your offspring. Who’s more likely to get pregnant at 16, a well cared for child or a neglected child? Teen mothers are more evolutionarily fit than those who wait. Do educated men have more children? From an evolutionary standpoint, some dude in prison with six kids out there is king.

Check the post directly over yours for my expanded thoughts on your post. I kind of agreed with you in a way. Honestly I think that the kind of advanced society we've developed simply isn't suited to poo flinging apes a few ten thousand years from going to war over bananas.
