It's hard to argue that anyone who believed in evolution back then wouldn't believe that... or at least not do so and be intellectually honest with themselves. Regardless... I think your overlooking one problem that makes what seems logical, illogical. Even if things worked exactly as is postulated and changes happen. Now you've got a more developed africa, gone mostly of dictators and flourishing. Full of people who remember that we did nothing while they're mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters and children died. They pull out of it to become rivals who hate us... conflict will ensue and the cycle will start over. More unification is needed not less. We may need new methods of helping... but it's not logical to just leave them hanging. |
I meant it by a completely different context to Darwin I think.
Anyway, let's take Charles Darwin out of it and look at it as a standalone point. I'm not saying these people are inferior in anyway, quite frankly I couldn't be more opposed to that argument. I'm saying that they are not given the right environment to survive, the overpopulation problem is a strain on their resources and the over population problem has been largely caused by western intervention.
...
As for your later point about them becoming a society that hates us. We don't live in a perfect world, everyone hates someone. But I would also hope that if the plan worked out, then they would learn to function independantly and recognise that independance doesn't come from handouts, but comes from learning to support yourself.
It may not happen, and they may be super pissed off at us if we stopped sending aid. But either way they could be better off and that would be what matters.
