Darwinism. And Darwin never said "survival of the fittest". or. . .

I don't know.

I was in a christian school for those few months( I got out quickly).

they taught us to hate Darwin,Marx,Lenin,Freud, and Uncle Tom's Cabin.





I really wish I kept that textbook.

Darwinism can be boiled down to "survival of the fittest", as it basically centers on the strong and smart finding solutions to problems and continuing to live, while the weak and stupid die, thus allowing each species to evolve in ways that benefit it to become a more dominate creature or better able to avoid the dominate creatures.

Also known as what's dead in our culture, allowing the weak and stupid to not only live, but thrive. Dumb humans.

Yeah, it wasn't Darwin who came up with "Survival of the Fittest".

It was the British philosopher Herbert Spencer who like many in his field felt it necessary to conflate the theory of natural selection with ethics, thus created the pseudo-science social darwinism.

The other major distortion of Darwin's work is to categorize evolution (a term he had little affection for himself) as a process of continual improvement, i.e. as a linear ascendence to sucessively higher levels of being.

It's funny how a century and a half after the publication of "The Origin of Species", we still can't get it right.

I find it informative that rezo's Christian school taught him to hate Uncle Tom's Cabin. I suspect it wasn't due to Harriet Beecher Stowe's stereotypical characterizations. And people try to deny that religious fundamentalism is imbued with bigotry.

It doesn't get any lamer than this. What kind of shit was this guy smoking?

Lock him up and eat the key.
