Survival Of The Smartest Or Fittest?

Survival of the smartest or fittest?

1. Background
- The smartest may depend on fittest, or I guess smartest would be able to motivate themselves to get fit [enough]. Or, they would find a way that doesn't require to be fit.
- Fittest would be able to do things through brute force (maybe). They wouldn't be totally dumb. But, if there was a choice between doing something physically with their hands or another method, then hands would be their choice.

2. Getting Moving Food
- Smartest would have the know-how to create traps.
- Fittest would be able to chase down the pigs/food.

3. Safety
- Smartest would create borders or weapons
- Fittest would eventually just scare away other possible predators

Quote: I'd Rather People Think I Think They're Dumb, Than Confirm It.

The title is just a shorter version for easy consumption. The following extended quote explains just a little more:

"I'd rather people think I think they're dumb, than to confirm I think they are."

This came up when I was trying to explain something. I either had to assume they didn't know something "basic", or ask them if they knew of the said something that was "common knowledge".

A way to combat this: http://xkcd.com/1053/
