  • Maybe he should stick to his science or read some more because that is not how society works or worked at all. What is humanity’s biggest strength but working (and thinking) together? Can in this regard a “old sick cripple” not be just as valuable as a healthy young person? Indeed they can and have been countless times. Pretty much nothing we have could be had without thousands of people working hand in hand, even if they never meet.

    Natural selection is not very much a thing for us. I would rather call it societal selection, as we decide what is valuable and what is not. Who gets to live and who gets to die. And these decisions are shaped in most parts by our very much chosen modes of economy.


  • What they describe as “hoooman nature” is societal conditioning. Ask them if it makes a difference if people grow up in a poor household or a rich, have a childhood without education or with elite schools and coaching, have grown up in Nazi Germany or the USA (the last one might fire back).

    In our capitalistic society we are trained for competition from early on. Our schools and our jobs are build for competing instead of cooperation. That is a choice that benefits out owners.

    We all agree that we are very much shaped by our surroundings until our world view needs us to ignore that.
