Survival of the Fittest?

"The sick represent the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not the strongest but the weakest who spell disaster for the strong" (p. 122 Nietzsche).


This quotation brought out an issue of how Darwin's theory of "only the strong survive" is put to the test. By having the weak destroying the strong does not follow Darwin's theory and reminded me of the Bubonic plague. The plague caused disaster that spread throughout the world and caused chaos in the homes and minds of individuals.
