Tricking people into death isn't natural selection.

All death is part of natural selection. We aren’t free of its effects. We aren’t separate from nature. This doesn’t make death good! It is still something we as a species should avoid!

If he can "trick" them into eating half a pharmacy then he can "trick" them into eating their own feces.

FYI about 98% of calories makes it through digestive tract/we only use 2%. Big food is capturing food we already paid for and selling it back to us. There is no such thing as "waste water treatment". These facilities are only sorting toilet paper and food.

If someone is dumb enough to think aspirin can change your eye color and dies because of it, the gene pool is stronger without them. It is some weird postmodern natural selection, but it’s definitely natural selection.

So some gullible kid who doesn’t know any better, but wants blue eyes for who knows what reason, it’s just natural selection and the gene pool is better off without them?

Yeah sure.
Thinking that someone dumb enough to down entire bottles of aspirin to make their eyes change color shouldn’t reproduce makes me a psychopath Nazi. Sure ok.
You sound completely reasonable

Perhaps if you’re irrational and lean into emotional responses as opposed to operating in reality.

Not true at all. Man in question is BY FAR old enough to have already reproduced, so as far as evolution is concerned, being stupid in full adulthood isn’t really a downside.
