    There's a pretty significant amount of confusion here, I think.

    I never said that you said that. What I was telling you is that you misunderstood my statement and that I was talking about the original post which was disgusting modern medicine being the enemy of natural selection.

    I apologize for the misunderstanding. 😁

    To continue the discussion though, personally I think that are adaptations are largely unuseful in the world that we've created however any issues that we have we are likely to overcome with technology or science so it's fairly unlikely, in my opinion, that modern medicine is the enemy of natural selection.

    If anything it's driving natural selection but in a different direction. We're going to have to learn how to adapt to microplastics, carcinogens, forever chemicals, particulate pollution, and excessive heat, to name a few.

      (AHA... sorry, wasn't trying to personalize anything in my comment. Didn't take anything personally or thought you were putting words in my mouth.)

      Sounds like we pretty much agree there.
