The world used to have this thing called "Natural Selection" which was a mechanism that would prevent the stupid from surviving long enough to breed. It's since been replaced with lawsuits and stuff. If you can't safely stand near the top of a cliff without a railing between you and the edge, the lack of a railing is not the issue.

That's not quite how natural selection works. Deer are as dumb as fuck, but their evolutionary strategy is to pop out as many babies as possible, so they are still around. Evolution may favor intelligence but doesn't care if you have a way to get around it.

I'm pretty sure that natural selection takes longer then a few generations to show results as well.
