Social Darwinism

A widely circulated belief that human evolution will sort itself through the actions or inactions of stupid individuals eliminating themselves from the gene pool. Mean while the prude, wise actions of society as a whole cause them to adapt, survive and evolve.

The idea is very similiar to the so called, "Darwin Awards" where people get awarded for doing stupid actions that eliminate them from the genetic pool. 1000 ways to die as seen on Spike TV is a really good example of this at work.

Roblox Darwinism

Kind of like Social Darwinism, but it applies to roblox. Survival of the fittest. This means that those who are experienced and those that have robux are more fit to be in roblox society. If you have no robux/are a noob, then you belong at the bottom of the roblox community
Shedletsky: I can only truly honour those who are roblox veterans, and those who have supported Roblox with their money.

Technological Darwinism

noun: A theory describing a phenomenon whereby an individual or group/demographic has fallen so far behind in their understanding of technology that it presents a survival risk for them in going about their day-to-day life. The theory stipulates that those exhibiting the characteristics of Technological Darwinism fall into over-50 and under-50 individuals, the net population effect of the two age groups being a moron-equilibrium. The key here is societal influence. Technological Darwinists will continue to lose power and influence in society, thereby drowning them out of both culture and history. They will eventually 'go extinct' insofaras losing the respect of their families, peers, and countrymen.
Emerging research suggests a cure for the phenomenon and experimentation is presently underway, aimed at extracting this youth-essence from the young and transplanting it into the aged, reference: stem cell research. The cure is near, yet every day thousands of Technological Darwinists order scores of counterfeit youth-essence pills via spam and phishing emails from Chinese hackers.
Interesting corollary found in the idea that as the level of technology grows at an ever-increasing rate, the amount of effort required to be tech savvy will increase at a similar rate.

The traits they exhibit do not benefit their survival in a technologically controlled environment.
Contextual reference first presented by R.M. Remlinger in 2010.
Technological Darwinism is found almost exclusively in imbeciles and the elderly, not mutually exclusive here,
