It's called natural selection.


I've seen "natural selection" used many times over the last few years to
help describe/explain how some people manage to stick around here, i.e. some
'evolve' to tolerate it.

I think it's probably a reasonably accurate model, just like some creatures
can 'evolve' to tolerate polluted waters that would quickly kill a Brook
Trout, some people can tolerate more ROFF than others. But any attempt to
make either 'evolved' creature, the polution tolerant scum dweller or the
ROFFian, somehow seem "better" than the "non-evolved" Brook Trout or human
creature that demands more a more pristine environment is, imho, simply
silly ...
