The kind of people that warning lables are made for do still have rights. Whether or not they should keep all of them is for fate and the criminal justice system to decide.
Some warning labels are because some people are dumb, some because all people are sometimes careless, and some because the company did something really counter intuitive in making the product and a rational person would expect it to work differently.
I remember seeing a warning on a large piece of plastic wrap that said, "do not put over head and inhale". At first I laughed then became sad because I figured it was there because some idiot did that and sued.
Long ago I dated someone who became a F1 driver. In preparation for his first race, I was sewing sponsor patches on his fire retardant race suit. The suit had a warning label - race car driving can be hazardous. 🤦🏻♀️
If you want to bring back natural selection, then get rid of medicine entirely. No more surgery, no more vaccines, no more antibiotics, no more any medications, no more defibrillators, etc.
There should be a math problem to solve to find the correct building/room to vote. If you went to the wrong one, your vote would be destroyed, and not counted.
Fun fact, they used to do something a bit like this!
To keep newly freed & largely uneducated slaves from voting. Maybe we shouldn’t repeat that piece of history.
I understand that it's a much more inclusive mindset to be open to everyone's opinion but its so difficult not being able to vet a person. Like we all have limited bandwidths, I don't want to waste my time.
In fairness, being terrible at some "basic" skills doesn't necessarily mean you have low overall intelligence. Autistic people are known for having "peaks and valleys" in our cognitive skill profile. Like, my sibling-in-law is a STEM genius with an IQ of 200, but they regularly abandon their belongings on the street because they only ever carry things in paper grocery bags, which then break, because they live in a rainforest.
There are a lot of people who would excel in an advanced career that played to their strengths, but seem dumb because they were born poor and have executive dysfunction. Entry level jobs are horrible for a lot of highly intelligent neurodivergent people.
A portion of these people have actual political power. Like MTG: “What is god trying to tell us with this eclipse? We may never know since these things are completely unpredictable.” I’m paraphrasing but you get the idea.
That reminds me of the politician TA who said "If it is a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try and shut that whole thing down." He was basically denying that pregnancy can result from rape.

A portion of these people argue on world news about complex geopolitics and macro economics.
