Topic:
Is the Darwinistic selection principle false?
Thesis:
The Darwinistic selection principle is false, unless human beings
were not included in that theory.
Darwin's selection principle means that successful living beings have
more offspring than the unsuccessful living beings and live on, whereas
unsuccessful living beings have less offspring than the successful living
beings and die out. But in the case of the human beings this selection
principle can be reversed: successful human beings have less offspring
than the unsuccessful human beings and die out, whereas unsuccessful living
beings have more offspring than the successful living beings and live
on. The human culture/s allow/s to circumvent the Darwinistic selection
principle.

Most of the people should not live alone (thus:

Sorry, Ben. You have misunderstood me. I was merely referring to the

If people can get all the solutions and their explanations from other

What you did was right, Ben. Don't worry.
Spaces of Transformation: Spatialised Immunity.
Peter Sloterdijks philosophico-morphological theory is based
on an understanding of the history of culture as spatialisations of
forms. The world in which we live now requires us to design new types
of spatialised immunity. More broadly, the concept of a
spherical logic of space a polymorphologic of form, order and
thinking is explicated in Spheres, his three-volume archaeology
of the human attempt to dwell within spaces, from womb to globe. The
Spheres project (Bubbles, Globe, Foam) is a significant topological
turn in the field of contemporary philosophy, »a super-workout
for communicative energies capable of finding contact throughout the
entire world.« **
Darwin's selection principle of his theory of evolution itself is an
equivocation. It even contains a contradiction, because the humans do
do not completely fit it. On the one side humans fit Darwin's selection
principle of his theory of evolution when it comes to human nature, but
on the other side humans do not fit Darwin's selection principle of his
theory of evolution when it comes to human culture/s respectively to the
modern era/s of human culture/s.
What do you not understand?
Your ideological (modern religious) statement (**)
is meaningless, because your false god Darwin was partly wrong, regardless
whether it is hard for an Darwinistic theist like you to believe it (by
the way: Darwin was a theist too - a pantheist).
When it became obvious that the natural selection was partly
false, the sexual selection was invented. When it became obvious
that the sexual selection was also partly false, the kin
selection was invented. When it became obvious that the kin
selection was also partly false, the social selection
was invented. And so on, and so on .... The natural selection
is - more or less - contradicted by the other selections,
especially and completely by the social selection. The Darwinistic
selection principle is merely a farce.
The theologist Darwin was a Malthusian, and Malthus was an economist.
In nature (in nature!) fitness or success is measured
by reproduction. Living beings that have the most offspring are the fittest,
thus are most successfull (because you can merely be most successful,
if you are the fittest). Success is the consequence of fitness.
The success follows the fitness. So when it comes to nature it is absolutely
correct to say that successful living beings live on, because they have
more offspring than the unsuccessful living beings, whereas successful
living beings die out, because they have no offspring or less offspring
than the unsuccessful living beings. But when it come to humans, especially
to modern humans culture/s, it is not correct to say that, because modern
humans are fit, thus successful, when they have no offspring or less offspring
than those humans who are not fit, thus unseccessful.
The said social selection contains the possibility of selecting
against the Darwinistic selection principle. And this happened and
happens. Thus it was and is a fact.

The Darwin principle of evolution has only been a part of what
has been altering the nature of life, animal and human. The principle
of filtering the strong in and the weak out is entirely situationally
dependent. Given the exact same competitive creatures in a different
environmental situation, the opposite set could succeed instead.
**
This definitely means that the selection principle of Darwin, the Darwinans,
and the Darwinianists is false.
James S. Saint wrote:
Strength and weakness are not simple concepts when it comes
to actual life. **
The Political Correctness wants us to speak of fitness.
James S. Saint wrote:
Darwin actually defined strength and success in terms of which
ever mutation survived. So actually by definition, the strong always
survive more, else they weren't really the strong. But when it come
to human interaction (societies) and reproduction, »strong«
has to be thought of in different terms than merely direct conflict.
In a Darwin minded society, those who seek to reproduce the most are
stronger than those who perhaps seek to kill their competition.
They are not thought of as being strong because people still think in
terms of natural animal competition when they envision strength. And
as stated by Platospuppy, successful during this era is
mostly an issue of monetary gain or public recognition, not proliferation.

This also means that the selection principle of Darwin, the Darwinans,
and the Darwinianist is false.
James S. Saint wrote:
So it all gets very complicated and from one era to another
can almost completely change. But there is one aspect that can never
change. And that is which ever behaves in a manner that is more anentropic,
survives longer. But then ensuring which behavior that really is can
be complicated.
So I cannot say that the principle is entirely true nor entirely false.
It is partially true and partially false. It is not a "holy",
stand-alone principle and is often reversed. And the intentional effort
to go along with it, completely defeats it. **
Partially true and partially false scientifically
means false, because it has to be regarded as false, if merely one part
of a theory is false. It is the theorist who has to provide a correct
theory.

I know almost all books of Freud, and my translations

Children learn things bit by bit. It took my son a while to figure
out that eating seashells is not a good idea. He is still working on

I stop him, he has not learned yet. **
You should not stop him to often, because children
need freedom in the sense of as much free space as possible, and mothers
usually constrain / box their children too much because mothers are usualy
too much frightened when it comes to rear, nurture, educate their children.

Then you are judging falsely. I am not a Freudian(ist).
I am no ...(ist) at all. Freud meant his Über-Ich (superego)
as the rules, principles, taboos, etc. of the (A)
culture, and for a child this means the rules, principles, taboos, etc.
of: (A,a) mother, father, siblings - thus
family -; (A,b) kindergarteners, teachers,
peer groups and other groups - thus society.

Certainly as a logical statement or solitary theory. My point was
that Darwinism isn't a solitary principle when it comes to evolution.
There are other principles involved. So as far as being the god of evolution,
Darwinism is certainly a false god (aka "incomplete controlling
theory").
And since I first heard of the phrase »survival of the fittest«,
I immediately noted that it is actually the »survival of the fitted«
(those who fit into their environment at the time).
Darwin was really asking, "Why do we see this variety of creature
at this time?" His answer was "because these are the one that
survived." That much of it is unquestionably true. **
Yes. What is really very much questionable and partially not true is
the selection principle - not more. Darwin*s theory of evolution is based
on three principles: (1) variation, (2)
heredity, (3) selection.
James S. Saint wrote:
But then the idea got extended and extrapolated (as people seem
to not be able to avoid) to suggest that absolutely nothing else was
responsible for life being the way it is found. That was over-reaching
the principle and certainly false.
What had some truth to it, became preached as a god. **
Those who claim to be atheists are antitheists, or theists,
or both (that's possible), and in this case Darwin is their false god.
There are many of those false gods - as you know; but the main problem
are not the false gods themselves but those stupid ideologists (modern-religious
zealots) who believe in them.

Deshalb schrieb ich »Fachsprache Freuds«. Der Unterschied

gegeben, aber im Englischen nicht mehr: »it« und »it«.
Um den Unterschied auch im Englischen deutlich machen zu können,
hat man einen Unterschied erfunden: »id« und »it«.
