Dear visionaries,
Daniel wrote, "Genicides and slavery have eliminated a lot of
genetic diversity from the human population, so evolution would not have
as much to work with."
But isn't that what evolution does? Isn't it the point to
eliminate genetic material?
And now that we have taken over the evolutionary process with regard to
our own evolution, why is social Darwinism wrong? When we consider the
less capable among us (the less "fit"), do we eliminate them or
arrange special protections for them? And when we do this, by what
standard are we making the decisions?
