A Wanaquer man died in a vehicle fire after he drove around barricade cones and onto live power wires in Franklin Lakes. A good son, Anthony G. was en-route to his father's house to shovel the driveway.
After the second nor'easter storm in a week, hundreds of thousands were left without power. Utility crews worked overtime to deal with downed trees and electric lines. Traffic snarls and frustrated motorists were everywhere.

Anthony did not want to lose time to a detour! According to police, our winner simply navigated around bright orange traffic cones warning motorists of a hazardous downed wire on Route 208.
Responding to calls, officers arrived at 9AM to find the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. A live power line was sputtering in the roadway near the vehicle. The fire totally gutted the car, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Ironically this Darwin Award winner was employed as a New York City electrician.

I thought his post was mildly to moderately funny in a dad joke kind of way. But he's wrong about natural selection. While natural selection certainly operates when someone dies before they can procreate, it also operates to a lesser extent when a provider dies after procreating--their offspring may die of starvation. They may be eaten by lions if he is not around to protect them (something he obviously wasn't very good at), or they may unable to have children themselves or have fewer, due to malnutrition, or those children (his grandchildren) may be too weak to survive childhood.
So we may continue to give Darwin awards to people who die after procreating.
He may be smart but I'm smarter, and at least as boring.

Now can we talk about altruism being about protecting the gene pool in your clan or tribe--a gene pool that contains at least some of your genes? No, you don't want to talk about it? I understand.

The Price of Altruism: George Price and the Search for the Origins of Kindness
Survival of the fittest or survival of the nicest? Since the dawn of time man has contemplated the mystery of altruism, but it was Darwin who posed the question most starkly. From the selfless ant to the stinging bee to the man laying down his life for a stranger, evolution has yielded a goodness that in theory should never be.
Set against the sweeping tale of 150 years of scientific attempts to explain kindness, The Price of Altruism tells for the first time the moving story of the eccentric American genius George Price (1922–1975), as he strives to answer evolution's greatest riddle. An original and penetrating picture of twentieth century thought, it is also a deeply personal journey. From the heights of the Manhattan Project to the inspired equation that explains altruism to the depths of homelessness and despair, Price's life embodies the paradoxes of Darwin’s enigma. His tragic suicide in a squatter’s flat, among the vagabonds to whom he gave all his possessions, provides the ultimate contemplation on the possibility of genuine benevolence.

Altruism in the extreme

No doubt. I tried a couple times to get the Powers That Be to change the name of that one to '19 or to just take the year off it but nothing happened. So I jumped in, and it seems like it wasn't a good move so far, but maybe you're right and we can turn it around.
Focus, people. Dumb people dying, let's get on it.

I'd better make up for it by posting people doing dumb stuff. WAIT...posting is doing and we have a treasure trove right here. Maybe I'm leading the way.
Then there's youtube:

I heard an interview with him once. He just sounded crazy to me and it made me wonder what deep seated guilt was driving him to do these things at the expense of his own children.
I have a friend who is kinda like this - he has a lot of property but won't do anything permanent to it with it because "what if the next person who owns it doesn't want things they way he might do them?" WTF? Live you life man. You don't need to pave over everything and be an environmental lout but seriously, you're here now and it's your property.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis
