1: The goddamn universe gave me natural selection! Aw hell!
2: I've been naturally selected because that is what happens when I win the race.
No need to explain number 3.

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.
Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

Selective altruism is essentially when someone imprints on one to very few people, and ends up being aggressive to anyone else.
Person 1 “would you stop being such a selective altruist?” Selective altruism at work
Person 2, actively ready to swing at person 1 for making a crude joke about person 2’s chosen human being. “I’ll make your insides your outsides.”

Hym "Ultra-Omega Psychology Genius! That entire segment about selective empathy is downstream from my thing! How am I THIS GOOD at everything!? I have to have like 1 million citations at this point. Wait, is it 937 kills or is it 937 PhDs? Assists? No, that would suck. 937 isn't a lot of assists...So, it's gotta be PhDs. 937 PhDs! The single greatest psychologizer in the history of humanity!"

Much like a regular misanthrope except it's hatred or mistrust over most of mankind instead of all of mankind in general.
MAN 1:How can your girlfriend love you? She's a misanthrope!
MAN 2: No, she's a selective misanthrope, there's a difference.
