Definitely contenders, but they’d need to have killed themselves and/or their offspring in the process to win the prize (or caused their own infertility before having kids, but those are really rare).
Sadly I don’t think they are eligible. That award is for when you remove yourself from the gene pool or you remove the ability to contribute to the gene pool.
I also disagree with the purification part. There is nothing to purify because I don’t believe that stupidity is genetic. It is educated. And education is the cure. And by that I don’t just mean school! Education doesn’t end when school ends. It is lifelong. It is a constant observation of what goes on around you and learning from the small mistakes to avoid bigger ones. It is much to discuss on this subject
If I was some sort of world dictator, I would make taking a test once a year mandatory, and send people back to school, like a prison/institution for the uneducated, medical interventions added as necessary (everyone gets screened, no excepts).
I don’t cheer. But it happens and there is nothing to be done. We have enough systems in place to prevent such instances but people seem to work very hard to circumvent these systems…
Just think of all the warning labels and all the rules we have in place and yet when an idiot tells people raw milk is perfectly safe they just go do it…
What more can any society do to prevent this? At some point it is not happiness but relief because after all the progress and all the energy that was put in pushing the civilisation to where it is now, there are people out there that are willing and they do die on hills like flat earth, raw milk, antivax and on and on…
The Darwin award ladies and gentlemen

They did give it a good try I give them that!
I never understood people being gleerfuly happy to see someone off themselves like that.
The same people who say eugenics is wrong, will cheer to see the gene-pool “purified”.
