Telling yourself that you can Darwin your way through this life might keep you busy, but it's so far from reality that you might as well just plan on aliens coming to save you.
You are correct......when there is an opportunity for the welfare state to prevent Darwin from actually allowing for a correction.....darwin awards candidates frequently live abnormal and unexpectedly long lives.
