Social Darwnism isn't really illogical.

It's just evil.


I mean, it would be logical to sterlize everyone with aids.

If we did that aids would be errdicated.

It would be logical to sterilize everyone who could pass on genetic disorders.  By doing so we would of eliminated genetic disorders.

There is a lot that is logical that is "evil".

Ruling soley by logic is dangerous.

 

People should still be allowed to marry whoever they damn well please though.

What does that have to do with the holocaust? The reasons why Jews were hated were illogical.


Not much.  I was reffering to


"Rationality is good because it implies the best possible solution."

But of the premise is wrong, then the whole argument is irrational. Exterminating Jews is irrational, because doing that solves nothing.

Yet i gave above reasons of social darwinism that do make sense.

Well, you;re right, but not necessarily. Those genetical problems contribute to gentic variety, which is a godo thing. And you don't have to sterlize people with AIDS. All you have to do is isolate them from society.

Not really.  You can get genetic variety without the genetic diseases.  There is a reason why genetic diseases die out in every other race.

Also, yeah, you could isolate people with aids, though they'd still have children... and we'll it'd still be an awful thing to do.

Humanity more or less has broken the chain of evolution.  Surivival of the fittist doesn't really happen anymore, even if it would be "logical."

There are plenty of things that could be done from current knowledge to make a more logical society.... they would mostly all suck though, and that's why we don't do them.
