Legitimate question here...

Legitimate question here. Why does modern medicine bother with developing cures for diseases or keeping terminally ill patients and people with incurable diseases like Down's Syndrome alive with extremely expensive technology? From an evolutionary perspective, it does not make sense. First, disease has been a way to naturally select the fittest and thanks to that we've been able to come this far. Second, what is the point of preserving genes that have proven to be useless for humanity?

tl;dr Modern medicine does not make sense because it contradicts natural selection.

Because the reason medicine became an industry was to promise longer life spans for some money.

If a company that makes hospital equipment or medicine simply stopped providing the things needed for people with Down's Syndrome then anyone could get a couple of investors in and start a company that does just that and that guy would make millions of dollars instantly.

>From an evolutionary perspective, it does not make sense.

You are really tipping that fedora hard.

Anyways, as long as there are sick people with money there will be rich business people looking to provide useful products for this huge, HUGE market.

>Veeky Forums calls on the daily economics a useless pseudo science
>Veeky Forums cannot even comprehend supply and demand

This is why I do not take non-math majors here seriously. I treat you lot like toddlers.

Because empathy does makes sense from an evolutionary perspective

From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense because evolution helped develop the human brain, which includes making decisions to save other people as a favourable addition to our utility.

>This is why I do not take non-math majors here seriously. I treat you lot like toddlers.
The irony here is that a lot of math majors here are cringey fedoras that lack basic knowledge in every other scientific field, including economics.

modern medicine rarely develops cures
it's more common to develop treatments that address the symptoms, but not the cause
this allows companies to milk as much money as possible from the sick plebs.
This makes absolute evolutionary sense, if evolution actually mattered as much as you shitters think it does.

>The irony here is that a lot of math majors here are cringey fedoras that lack basic knowledge in every other scientific field, including economics.

OP sounds like a biology or physics type. I'm sure that if there were statistics on the subject, here is where the atheism glorifiers first enroll before failing like the miserable fucks they are and then go study philosophy or literature.

Everyone else in my classes (except for me) is some type of religious. All of the professors (mathematicians) that teach me are also religious. All of them christian by the way.

Atheism does not flourish in mathematics and much less does autistic atheism like the one on display with OP.

Modern medicine as all human accomplishments is a direct byproduct of natural selection - nature selected for god fearing monogamous smart white betas who built the western world from scratch.

>OP sounds like a biology or physics type.
Cringe + completely wrong. Can't tell if bait. Either way, you embarrass the rest of the math majors here with your post.
OP posted a fedora opinion. fedora =/= atheist opinion. You have confused the memes pretty badly here. Unless you consider "believing" in evolution = atheist. In which case, cringe^2.

>I'm sure that if there were statistics on the subject, here is where the atheism glorifiers first enroll before failing like the miserable fucks they are and then go study philosophy or literature.
I honestly hope this is bait, for your sake. Not worth critically analysing.

>Everyone else in my classes (except for me) is some type of religious. All of the professors (mathematicians) that teach me are also religious. All of them christian by the way.
No, they aren't, but even if, you insist on bringing up a topic which was NOT included in the thread. Go back to if you want to discuss how good Christianity is you fucking autist. This is a science board, and evolution is part of it.

>Atheism does not flourish in mathematics and much less does autistic atheism like the one on display with OP.
lol. You just want to discuss another topic. Gtfo Veeky Forums.

That's wrong though.
Your professors are Christian because they're all Asians that found god after witnessing war for the last 100 years.

Has nothing to do with their prodession.

>fedora =/= atheist opinion

Reddit would be against this statement.
Atheism+ would be against this statement.

I think we call a counter example.

>"believing" in evolution = atheist.

I don't but people who rightfully deny creationism don't do so to subscribe to some other bullshit, they go with science and facts.

>No, they aren't,

I know they are. They actively go to church and shit. Not that I care though, just stating it as it is.

>how good Christianity is you fucking autist.

wew lad. Christians are even worse than autistic atheists but that doesn't mean I cannot criticize other atheists.

I despise atheists who glorify 'natural selection' to the point that they want to institute 'social darwinism'. That gives a bad name for atheists and unfortunately that is the route reddit and Atheism+ are going for. Just all out cringy outbursts of autistic rage.

>evolution is part of it.

I never attacked evolution. I attacked people who take it beyond biology and glorify it like OP. Do you think that letting people die is a sensible thing to do, you moron? With the only justification being: well, they got sick so that means they were inferior!

>lol. You just want to discuss another topic. Gtfo Veeky Forums.

Been here longer than all you fucks. I know this because when I first came here no fucking reddit.com atheism+ type retards came here. Discussion was pretty sensible around here.

I don't care how it happened. The point is that atheism does not flourish in mathematics the way it would in biology or physics.

That is why I believe that is OP's background. However that is assuming too much of him. We all here now that he is 12 year old Atheism+ and reddit user who knows nothing about the real world.

Get real.

Being an atheist does not imply hating the world and wanting natural selection to be a legal term.

Are you people really siding with the guy who says that we should let sick people die?
