The 40-40-40 plan. That you should work 40hrs a week for 40k a year for 40 years and retire broke while you tip- toe quietly through life without ever getting out of your "comfort zone" to see what you're capable of doing!:rip:

Social darwinism seeks to apply Darwin's theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology and politics. Basically, the rich should see their power increase while the poor should drop like flies because of their being less adapted. Promote strength, punish weakness and let the less fortunate wash out. The law of the jungle among humans. And this is just the individualist type of social Darwinism, the lesser evil.

The REALLY nasty one, Reform Darwinism, was one of the pillars of nazism: state imposed eugenics. Basically the mass extermination of those viewed as the weak, thus killing off lesser races (like jewish) as well as any disabled or sick people for being defective humans, and redirecting human breeding towards the formation of the master race (arians).

Social darwinism has also been linked to european imperialism, because the concepts of evolution justified the exploitation of "lesser breeds without the law" (africans, asians, native americans) by "superior races" (europeans).


interesting.

The notion that any one human is inherently better than another. Flat out.


but to be less general, one i hate is that money is the only indicator of success. My manz in House of Cards said it best.

"Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years.
Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries.
I can not respect someone that doesn't see the difference."

that you need help to be successful, you can do it all on your own - you just have to REALLY want it more than the next person, if you don't then STFU.
