In "The Vastalimi Gambit" by Steve Perry, a character expresses a pragmatic view on personal responsibility and the consequences of one's actions. She argues that society does not invest significant effort in shielding individuals from their own foolish decisions and suggests that the presence of warning signs should suffice as a cautionary measure. She highlights a point that if someone fails to comprehend the warnings—like a danger sign—it is unfortunate but ultimately a natural consequence. This perspective implies a belief in natural selection, where the survival of the fittest plays a role in shaping society, suggesting that failure to recognize danger is a part of human evolution, which could ultimately "improve the gene pool."
