That's the doctrine of pirates.” PeopleThinkingBelieveHas BeensOrderFightingGreaterStupidDoctrineAccomplishedStrongestLiedPirateGreater Good Author:Zach McGowan
“I have spent a lot of time arguing that the theory of group selection is not the stupid, pernicious doctrine that many biologists once claimed it to be.
