Sanity (in the non-clinical sense) is determined by popular consensus. I don't think I'd ever fit in with popular consensus.

Besides, sanity is overrated.

rofl that you think those thinkers match each other at all. Hayek was from the Austrian school, Friedman from the Chicago school; entirely different ways of thinking about economics. Rand wasn't about econ at all but some pathetic cult of social darwinism.

Incidentally, Friedman supported policies that you would undoubtedly consider "socialist." He came very close to convincing the US government to establish a guaranteed minimum income for all citizens.

Right, it would be much better to be brainwashed by paranoid idiots on the internet.

Are you a creationist? social darwinism is bulletproof

Do you really think that evolution just stopped with humans or is it because your social agenda will not allow you to believe in this seemingly cruel concept? Scientifically, human are no different from any other species. Some members of the species are simply superior to others -- there's little argument that can be made against that.

It is actually quite hypocritical to believe in the theory of evolution and believe that all men are born equal -- because according to evolution, they are not.

Public schools are a waste of money..............first education is not a right I don't want to pay for some other children
second most teachers in public school are awful and do nothing except brainwash children about how socialism is good,how global warming is real and scary how corporations are gangsta

Social Darwinism has nothing to do with evolution
It is a long discredited theory that has been used to justify some of the most horrific acts of Human history. It is a 19th century (wrong) interpretation

discredited by whom???? some Leftist academic?

Natural selection exists among species and within a species. You'd be stupid to deny that. Humans are no different.

Science basically proves that certain individuals are superior to other individuals and to try to make everyone equal is basically a failed idea before it even starts because everyone is not equal..

power allows one to reproduce more successfully. A person with a lot of power has a better chance at reproduction than a person that doesn't have power.

For instance Gheghis Khan is believed to have around 16,000,000 present day decendents. Even today, powerful men tend to attract more women.

Obviously power for an individuals has a strong positive correlation with reproductive success.

You guys laugh at creationists for denying evolution all the times. You deserve to be laughed at just as hard when you deny that the same forces aren't at work within our own species.

Social Darwinism is the deformed bastard child of the Theory of Evolution, it is not even worthy of discussion. Even Creationists recognize that it is inherently flawed and was a negative result of the theory of evolution, that some whackjobs will take their xenophobic views of different cultures and try and put their ill-informed interpretations of a biological theory into the social interactions of Human beings

Well, evolution isn't about the superiority of nation states. There is struggle between cultures, but the way many Social Darwinists justify their postured ignorance of others by claiming that evolution supports their views... it is incorrect and if people actually still believed that we would still be living in the late 19th century/early 20th

Evolution isn't a value system, that is why Social Darwinism is not part of it

I was thinking of races, people with disabilities, etc. That would fall under evolution and social darwinism.
