    I hope you just pretend that you don’t know what social Darwinism is and how applying it worked out in the end.

      I’m aware of it, and I’ve made no statements along those lines. I think it’s disingenuous to conflate my statements of evolution and the question of one sacrifice for the good of the world, to social Darwinism.

        Social Darwinism is what you get by applying basic understanding of evolution to moral questions - exactly what you have been doing. It’s really not that complicated. As a moral construct it only leads to suffering since it lacks any empathy.
