Replacing woman

- May 15th, 2008

It's time to get rid of the male references from the word. The color red marks the objectionable part.

  1. woman
  2. woperson
  3. woperchild

Another step towards the emancipation of woperchilds from the tyranny of men.

That damned evil nazi science

- March 26th, 2008

Here’s something from the reviews of the movie Expelled that bothers me. The movie apparently goes to some length to connect the theory of evolution to Nazi policies that lead to the Holocaust.

Supporters of Intelligent Design divide evolution into macroevolution and microevolution. Macroevolution is the large scale evolution from one species into another. Microevolution on the other hand is change that comes about from selective breeding within a species. It is hard if not impossible to argue against microevolution because it’s effects are observable. And from what I can tell no one who supports Intelligent Design disagrees with it.

You don’t need to go further than a concept of microevolution to find some scientific justification for eugenics. Macroevolution is actually noise as far as any argument around eugenics is concerned. The idea is about improving humans as a race by selective breeding and not about creating a new species of super-humans.

It is also certain people were aware of the idea of microevolution before Darwin, we’ve have been breeding animals for millennia. Eugenics isn’t anything new either. In Sparta, weak babies were left out in the cold to die. If wikipedia is anything to go by, this was something of a point of inspiration for the Nazis.

The movie is about how the Intelligent Design people are getting the short end of the stick. And this is the bit of evolution pretty much everyone agrees about. So how did it end up in the movie and as an example of the theory of evolution gone bad?
