    Honestly the more I read about all the things wrong with that submarine, the more I think the CEO Stockton Rush deserves a Darwin Award. (Though maybe he’d be disqualified due to age or already having kids?)

      His age is irrelevant as men can reproduce until death barring some medical issues. Already having kids does disqualify him though as he’s still in the gene pool.

      Not calling you out, just adding information.

      Watch out with referencing the Darwin Award. It comes out of the tradition of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is the concept that natural selection/survival of the fittest should apply to humans as well, to improve the gene pool.

      The Nazis heavily embraced Social Darwinism and used it as justification to murder countless physically and mentally disabled people.

      I thought that you needed to be out of the gene pool so including no living descendants, but that wiki page seems to say it’s debatable.
