The theory of evolution is complete rubbish.

Consider the humble ant. How do you explain how individual ants have no individuality, discard their lives for the collective and the vast majority never reproduce. The live and die for the collective and not for themselves.

How does evolution explain the ant? It can't.

Evolution can't explain almost anything about reality. It's only value is as an indicator of who is stupid enough to believe such a ridiculous theory.

The collective of those ants is an individual.

This. Much like you have living organisms inside you to make you work, ants are just part of a bigger organism called ant hive. The real redpill is that people are just small parts of a bigger organism as well, all doing their part. You're no more significant than an individual red blood cell working towards keeping you alive

Lots of people don't know about that. And it boggles my mind because I was like 12 when I realized countries are living organisms.

What's the deal with this line of thinking?

There is something called the coefficient of relationship from which you can measure the genetic payoff of a given action with a fairly accurate point system. It's actually very interesting and can be easily used to explain most evolutionary principles.

For humans, the approximate coefficient between siblings is 0.5, so you could say that an individual should be indifferent between sacrificing himself and sacrificing two of his siblings if forced to choose, ceteris paribus. Relatedness within an ant colony is far higher than within a human family, which by itself easily solves the "problem" posed by OP.

The selflessness allows for a good chunk of ants to spread their DNA to the next generation, and since it doesn't matter who survives and reproduces for ants, their fine with just kinda dying.
