@recker5@mastodon.social This abridged quote by Richard Dawkins (who is problematic for other reasons), seems apt:

“Evolution by natural selection is the explanation for why we exist. It is not something to guide our lives in our own society. If we were to be guided by the evolution principle, then we would be living in a kind of ultra-Thatcherite, Reaganite society.

Study your Darwinism for two reasons, because it explains why you’re here, and to learn what to avoid in setting up society.”
