Blackpill Fisherian runaway theory

[MonkeyInaT34]

Runaway selection hypothesis, in biology, an explanation first proposed by English statistician R.A. Fisher in the 1930s to account for the rapid evolution of specific physical traits in male animals of certain species. Some traits—such as prominent plumage, elaborate courtship behaviours, or extreme body ornamentation—are so strongly preferred by females of certain species that they will mate only with those males possessing the strongest expression of the trait. In subsequent generations, male offspring are more likely to possess that physical trait, whereas female offspring are more likely to possess a preference for that trait in males. Over time, the species may be characterized by extreme sexual dimorphism.

Evidence supporting this hypothesis has been found in several species. One of the most dramatic examples is the African long-tailed widowbird (Euplectes progne); the male possesses an extraordinarily long tail. This feature can be explained by the females’ preference for males with the longest tails. This preference can be demonstrated experimentally by artificially elongating the tails of male widowbirds. Similarly, male European sedge warblers (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) with the longest and most elaborate birdsongs are the first to acquire mates in the spring.

For better understanding, I will give an explanation using deer as an example:

Let's take a deer, this deer has bigger antlers than all the other deer, which is a preferred trait among the females of his species, thus he gets more mates, and reproduces more.

This deer's offspring inherit this trait, his male offspring are more likely to grow larger antlers. And his female offspring are more likely to select mates with larger antlers, eventually to a point where they will no longer select mates below their preferred baseline.

This leads to a feedback loop, where females continuously select for more extreme traits, so males with more extreme traits reproduce, thus creating more males with extreme traits, and females who select for those extreme traits.

Eventually this becomes detrimental to survival, because the traits become so extreme they are practically useless, it is no longer about selecting for what is utilitarian, but for what is appealing.

Extremely strong and high IQ post, Greycel.

There's a good chance something similar will happen to the human species over the next centuries. Average IQ will be falling with all its consequences, instead most men will be 6'+ and have well-defined faces. Hopefully humanity will go extinct.

It's already happened, take for example, the human chin. The chin is unique to homo sapiens, no other human species has it.

Despite science trying to prove the usefulness of this bony projection, none of them have been proven, this leads me to believe that the chin is simply a byproduct of fisherian runaway selection.

And also when you think about it further, primitive human skulls had chins but they weren't as prominent as the modern human chin, and also notice how having a prominent chin is considered attractive.

We've already bred a useless trait into existence.

Good point. But its development didn't hinder us either. Diminishing IQ on the other hand will have a great effect.

The classic example of the peacock tail shows something which is expensive to grow and maintain and acts as a handicap, making you more obvious to predators, less agile at movement etc. So it demonstrates your high genetic quality and resource access that you can afford it.

Maybe all the 6'7", 300lb 85IQ chads will starve to death in a future Dark Age.

Yep, also, the peacock's tail has hindered their ability to fly, so not only does it make them easier to spot and less agile, but they also cannot escape if their life is in danger.

Lastly being large has no use in nature aside from dominance over other males, but we don't live in a primal society anymore, so it's only use now is attracting mates. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see a future where Chads struggle, unless it's a human extinction event, but we'd all suffer regardless in that situation.

I don't know enough about the subject to know how accurate this is, but I have heard several times that psychopaths/Cluster B etc. individuals tend to get identified and discreetly killed as teenagers in primitive societies, whereas in high-tech societies as we can see they are able to run wild. It would be nice to think they will be cleansed from the population at some point, even if incompletely.

Another point to add is that biology doesn't recognize IQ as a trait, it can't. We can define who has good genetics judging by physical signals, but IQ is complex.

In short, it doesn't matter if you're a 70 IQ Chad, you'll reproduce nonetheless, and since IQ is highly heritable, more stupid Chads will be born.

Evolution has all the answers mang, it explains why subhumans are expulsed from society and why foids and chads are inherently pieces of shit.
