"Survival of the Fittest" invented by famous philosopher Spencer, and prospered by Darwin, namely the author of masterwork "On the Origin od Species". My question: What's your opinion about this principle?

Spencer was like Darwin in some ways, but when it came down to the theory of evolution, Spencer took it one step further than Darwin by saying that it involved much more that just biology. Darwins teory does not make sens to me. To many missing links and dates. Man orgin is still unsolved. Spencer better supported his idea than Darwin. I trully believe that at some point "fittest" will always survived.

says it all !? - theories abound about whether we are fit to survive as a species yet we go on year after year with doing all things that really are not good for us.
Seems like a good plan to me. Perhaps our society as a whole could be a bit smarter. A bit healthier. A bit more athletic. Somehow. Maybe we could all just strive to be better overall!!

During Darwins period the term Fittest was denoting Physical Strength. In the Present world it denotes the Intelligency and efficiency.

Only the "Strong shall prevail and the weak shall perish"! People who has wits and more smarter in dealing with their life shall bear all the fruits of lide. Especially for others who to pretend to be wise and claims to be righteous, but the main truth is their dumb and cannot stand by their own words.

I believe very much that 'survival of the fittest' is how all species have evolved, and is still very much in effect today, although prsonally I find it awful and brutal! Our human society today is very much a 'survival of the fittest' society. Especially capitalism. Those who can, scrape, push and shove themselves to the top, (I'm generalising here, I know not everyone does that!), and those who can't, lie at the bottom of the heap and deteriorate in health and morale. I don't like this, but unfortunately this is, in my opinion, reality for most of society.
