gollark: I see. This definitely seems broader than common definitions in use then.
gollark: And I don't think it'll be shifted significantly by being able to deal with that kind of rare event much better as much as... blind luck, happening to have had relevant opportunities, social skills and intelligence.
gollark: Evolutionary fitness is also not the same as physical fitness.
gollark: That's plausible I guess, but it's possible that many of those could have been avoided (and your definition would count this as "fitness", even). I'm pretty sure it's still less common than, well, other day to day bad things.
gollark: Are those *common*? I don't think I know anyone who's actually experienced any of those. Except maybe animals, very broadly.
