The Peace of Plenitude ; The War of Plenticide

The post-1945 attempts to kill all Bosnian Moslems, all the Rwandan Tutsi, all of China's rich peasants, all of Cambodia's educated - all in the name of Modernist Science and its hopes of improving the human gene pool by draining it - in fact only worsened the remaining gene pool in evolutionary terms.

All life's plenitude is worthy of life

The scientists of era of Modernity (1870s-1960s) believed that Darwin's evolution would be best served by Man giving Natural Selection a leg up - by Mankind draining the gene pool for humans and non-humans alike.

Cue Auschwitz and Aktion T4 and cue today's ever more rapid extinction of all species other than our own.

Those scientists were dead wrong - it was just bad science.

Darwin descends into accepting Galton and Spencer as converts

Herbert Spencer - it must be said - got Darwin's Theory of Evolution just half right, as did Francis Galton.

Nazi Aktion T4 as 'death by meritocracy'

The Great Chain of Being, as educated Man saw it anyway, was God's ordering of classes of being --- from very imperfect to PERFECT.

Nothingness was at the very bottom, and God at the very top : Man was in the high middle area.

But note the perfect and imperfect were born that way : their perfectness was ascribed ,  not something learned and earned/un-earned by being marked in some merit testing.

Because the locks change faster than the keys : Darwin's loss is Dawson's gain

Charles Darwin had to seriously bent and twist the scientific evidence that lay before him to satisfy his twin personal concerns before he could publish his famous theory.

He wanted to both claim that Evolution indeed happened (boo-woo! said his fellow well-to-do Victorians) but that fortunately it happened extremely slowly (hooray!)
