One flaw I see in Darwinism...?
Looking at it without the filter of human compassion, I think it is our interference with natural selection, not a flaw of its reasoning. Any time you interfere you have effects on population. The ignorant have always reproduced in large numbers due to infant mortality and life expectancy. That is a selfish fact of human existence. Since we have a fairly stable food and water supply and medical technology has made most childhood diseeases a thing of the past in the western world - it is a natural consequence that numbers will increase without a natural check. But, with that said, I don't think the behavior is as genetic as it is environmental. Anyway, natural resources will put our population in check if we don't do it for ourselves, and who knows, maybe the poor and ignorant will be just clever and adaptable enough to save the species. Hahahaha.
