This is a genuine question, as every time I have an argument about this with someone they bring a point so utterly stupid that it leaves me stumped...

Even if you assumed a goal of reproductive success, it's idiotic to think there is a single best strategy that is unchanging. Humans evolved over tens of thousands of years, and they evolved to be adaptable. It's like trying to play a football game with the same play every time... People will catch on quickly.

If you find yourself stumped by someone’s point, you need to consider that point.

I don't get it. The red pill from the matrix? I hear people use it as a truth pill, but how can that be an argument?
