“The result of the revolution in Germany has been to establish a democracy in the best sense of the word. We are steering towards an order of things guaranteeing a process of a natural and reasonable selection in the domain of political leadership, thanks to which that leadership will be entrusted to the most competent, irrespective of their descent, name or fortune. The memorable words of the great Corsican that every soldier carries a Field Marshal's baton in his knapsack, will find its political complement in Germany.” Has BeensPoliticalOrderNamesProcessNaturalResultsDemocracyFieldsRevolutionFortuneSoldierThanksMemorableGermanyReasonableCarrieSelectionDomainCompetentDescentComplementSteeringBatonPolitical Leadership Author:Adolf Hitler
“I believe-and human psychologists, particularly psychoanalysts should test this-that present-day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. It is more than probable that the evil effects of the human aggressive drives, explained by Sigmund Freud as the results of a special death wish, simply derive from the fact that in prehistoric times intra-specific selection bred into man a measure of aggression drive for which in the social order today he finds no adequate outlet.” MenShouldBelieveHumansFactsTodaySufferingOrderEvilI BelieveWishSocialResultsSpecialEffectsTestsCivilizedAggressiveAggressionSelectionAdequateOutletsPsychologistPresent DayInsufficientSocial OrderDischargePrehistoricDeath WishPrehistoric Times Book:ON AGRESSION Source: ON AGRESSION
“Individual versus group selection results in a mix of altruism and selfishness, of virtue and sin, among the members of a society. If one colony member devotes its life to service over marriage, the individual is of benefit to the society, even though it does not have personal offspring. A soldier going into battle will benefit his country, but he runs a higher risk of death than one who does not. An altruist benefits the group, but a layabout or coward who saves his own energy and reduces his bodily risk passes the resulting social cost to others.” IfsDoeCountryRunningIndividualEnergySocialSinResultsVirtueRiskGroupsHigherBattleCostMembersBenefitsSoldierSelfishnessCowardAltruismVersusSelectionOffspringColony Author:E.
