Andy, David and all:
David MOREY said to Andy:
I have had a thought, are you in the US?
We have a particular problem on the island
that gave us Darwin with populist
neo-Darwinists. If your non-uk, you won't
realise the trouble we have been having &
why we keep going on and on.
dmb says:
As Andy mentioned, fundamentalism is quite a problem in the U.S., but I
think that social darwinism is troublesome here too. (The two views
contradict each other in many ways, but they are both major factions within
the Republican party.) If you're interested, Richard Hofstadter's "Social
Darwinism in American Thought" is worth a look. Is it really a dog eat dog
world? Do nice guys really finish last? Last in what, exactly? As Lily
Tomlin says, the problem with the rat race is that even if you win, you're
still just a rat.
Etc.
