surviving survival
What can you comment about the survival of the fittest in human race?
I agree that human evolved through natural selection. The best-suited traits were passed into the new generation to survive the harsh environment and to reproduce. Now that human has great intelligence that even we have physical vulnerability/deficiency, we managed to survive due to our ability to protect ourself from danger and adopt to our environment with the help of technology and innovation and not by our physical capability. Can I conclude that the trend is more about "survival of the smartest"?
In modern western societies, pure survival is generally not in question (modern medicine, safety legislation, few predators, etc.) so the genes that are passed on to the next generation depend on sexual selection, and how many children different individuals and sections of society have.
In some western countries, we actually pay people who are too stupid to work to have children, because it's the only way they can access social security benefits. At the other end of the scale, a lot of highly intelligent people elect to have no children, whereas in the past they had less control over their own fertility.

Any survival techniques to survive a nuclear holocaust?
I am not crazy! I am just curious to find out any survival techniques to survive a nuclear war.
There are two major techniques that will help a lot. Neither is easy to do and the second is quite expensive.
1) Set up your life so you don't live in or near a major city or large military base. These are what are called "strategic targets". If a nuclear war went on long enough, even small cities and bases might get hit; after all, they're secondary targets. But for sure, cities like NYC or Atlanta and bases like Parris Island or Offutt AFB are going to get hit first.
2) Get access to a secure underground shelter protected by at least ten feet of concrete or natural rock. It needs to have a high quality air filtration system, a hatch designed to resist "overpressure" (ie, shock waves from nuclear explosions) , and sufficient supplies to say inside for at least a year.
If you can do both of these, you have a very good chance of surviving a nuclear holocaust. If you can only do one, well you have a good chance. If you do neither, then you still have a chance because some people will make it through on sheer dumb luck. Personally, I prefer to be in control of my destiny than to rely on luck....
