Survival of the fittest is misleading

Survival of the fittest is misleading. What makes humans so successful is not competition. It’s in fact cooperation. #davidrhawkins #consciousness #love #peace #evolution #survivalofthefittest #drjakehyde #jakehyde #mentalhealth #community #darwin

The thing is the theory of survival of the fittest wasnt actually given by Darwin it was actually given by herbert spencer and it was just phrased or quoted by darwin in his corresponding project....

people think "the fittest" means "the strongest" or who can dominate or outcompete the rest - that is plain wrong. that is not how nature works and Darwin knew that well. There is no domination. "The fittest", in this quote attributed to Darwin, means "those who fit in best", meaning those who fit best into a niche in the ecology will survive. If we're going to extrapolate a social lesson from this, it should be that, in order to survive, you must find a place where you work well within society. NOT that you must be stronger and more resilient, only to act without any care for your surroundings, that which you benefit from every day.
