“Darwin is often taken as the enemy of tradition, but traditions are just those social institutions that have weathered selective pressures. The longer a thing has survived, the more likely that it serves an adaptive purpose; “racism” is held up as the cardinal modern sin, but ethnocentrism is deeply rooted in our brain structure, therefore ancient. [...] Natural selection is anything but the liberal’s friend. Darwinism is the nail in the coffin of the Enlightenment, which is why you’re not allowed to apply it to anything except bees and cuttlefish.” TraditionDarwinismTraditionsSocial Darwinism Book:The Cultured Thug Handbook: A Guide to Radical Right-Wing Thought Source: The Cultured Thug Handbook: A Guide to Radical Right-Wing Thought
