I read it and failed to get it. The reason this is being linked here is to lead into an exploration of Darwinism where "Might makes "Right" can be confused with Capitalism.
That is a bit of a stretch to expect anyone to have an interest in reading how the pieces fit. I write to leave a trail for myself or anyone on a parallel course.
In human existence there are occurrences whereby the best at any particular employment manage to dominate that occupation. This is a phenomenon called by many names including specialization. A specialist will hone the skills required to become more and more efficient at any particular job. An example is a brain surgeon. Another example is a toilet cleaner.
Someone less capable will be less efficient on the job. The finished product may cost too much and fail to accomplish the desired result. The ‘specialist’ who isn’t very special may try two, three, or four times to get the job done right and fail each time. How much does that cost? Is that an example of specialization?
The clear answer is no. The poor ‘specialist’ is poor because the rich specialist is richer.
In Darwinism the poor specialist either finds something to do efficiently or continues to fail at everything and pollutes the species with an inefficient example. How can the efficient ones know how rich they are?
There is only one way which brings Darwinism up to the more efficient theory called relativity.
Darwinism is relatively efficient at explaining something, and doing a good job of it, while Darwinism is relatively misunderstood; like botched brain surgery.
The idea that human beings have produced a prosperous civilization because we are inspired to kill or be killed is like cleaning a toilet with shit.
