This is definitely wrong. Individuals (e.g. grandparents or just random society members) can influence survival rates of other society members.

Some species(e.g. ants) even have sterile members that definitely exert evolutionary pressure.

The most annoying thing is traffic is comming from google.

Same applies also to YT - videos with 2x speed, inverted colors etc.

Hight-carb here refers to carb-protein ratio, not high-calorie diet.

I'm not sure the radiostation analogy holds. Radiostations can't claim copyright to the song.
