Search Results: ask him out myself

Many measures have been created because people do stupid things. Maybe we should remove some of these measures that allow people to be stupid and let nature do its thing. 3 examples below:

1. Pedestrians

Society as a whole would rather place the burden of protecting pedestrians on the drivers rather than having the pedestrians actually care about their own safety. For example, society expects that, even if the pedestrian jaywalks on a 50mph road instead of simply waiting for the light to change and the driver cannot stop in time, the driver should swerve into a ditch rather than hit the pedestrian. The natural selection way would be that, if the pedestrian made this mistake and got hit, the driver would not be seen as at fault. Obviously nobody wants the pedestrian hit, but if their actions caused the issue then it shouldn't be expected for the driver to hurt their livelihood or car to accommodate someone who didn't care about their own safety. If the law made the pedestrian take some accountability, then maybe they would wait their turn before crossing the road.

2. Consuming things not meant for human consumption.

Before the Tide Pod challenge, nobody needed to be told to not eat something meant to clean clothes. Now tide pods have to have warnings to not be consumed. There are many things like this. The natural selection way would be to let the idiots learn the hard way. Maybe they survive and maybe they don't. If they live, they learn. If not, then their stupidity caused it and likely they died before they could be a nuisance in the future at someone else's expense.

3. "Pranks".

Saw a youtube video where a guy goes into dangerous hoods asking people "Want to get popped?" then reaches into his pocket to pull out a soda. If you ask me that and reach in your pocket, then I'm assuming you plan to smoke me and I have the right to defend myself. Natural selection way would be to place the blame on the idiot youtuber, not the person in fear of getting popped.
