Sir Krustin, your intro statement of "You people need an education" is incorrect, rude, and grammatically improper.
Hierophant, good on ya.
I agree that the human gene pool is chock full of problems, evidenced at least in part by the emotionally troubled youths at the camp, and also by the wholly predictable yet woefully inadequate response to the bear incident. As a species, we have placed ourselves in a very poor position by protecting those less able to fend for themselves. There are any number of arguments both for and against the protection and subsequent breeding of those who have anti-survival traits, but the current condition of the world as it's been shaped by the dominant species would argue that we are on a poor path.

What it means silly, is that we've reached an evolutionary peak for our environment. Sharks did this a long time ago and nobody finds them at fault. Evolution will occur again when we no longer have the capacity to adapt to our environment. That won't happen soon from what I can see.
Don't confuse social evolution with the "survival of the fittest" kind..
