re: #822 Salamantis

Nothing could be farther from evolution than eugenics. Whereas evolutionary theorists would support allowing natural selection to proceed untampered with, eugenicists all insist upon applying their pet ‘intelligent’ designs.

Not meaning any disrespect, but that’s about the wrongest statement I’ve seen you write.

The opposite of eugenics is social darwinism (not “evolution”). Both assume evolution. Social darwinism is the philosophy which supports allowing natural selection.

Evolutionary theorists don’t have a position on the divide, as they are too busy doing research to involve themselves in politics.
