What does that have to do with anything?
I think you're in a losing argument. Survival of the fittest does not apply to the modern world. It stopped applying to the world a long time ago.

It stopped around a century or so ago. What we now have is stupid people reproducing faster and at a greater rate than the ones that are smarter. Under a survival of the fittest such would not be the case. I am not losing anything, you gave examples of short or fat people, none of which have anything to do with the defining human feature. If a midget is smart he would live if he was a human being as long as he was smart under natural law.
I don't think you understand that by removing survival of the fittest we are hurting the human race as a whole worse than anything else we can do short of destroying ourselves.

Being smart is mainly to do with nurture, any individual from a deprived background go out and become successful it's usually the drive they get from parent reinforcement, nothing to do with intelligence.

You've confused me here.. being successful is nurture... but being smart isn't.
People are born smart of stupid... however it's our enviroment that depends on if we can build on that.
One of the smartest people ever Chris Langan works a Bar bouncer.
On the bright side though... how many other people with an IQ of over 200 can benchpress 500 pounds? Eat it Hawking.
