minus-squaregapbetweenus@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSocial 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.
