>>12688084Our scientific views are largely cultural rather than rational. The Anglos (not Darwin per se) created a deranged view of nature as a marketplace, as the ideas of Adam Smith trickled into Malthus then from Malthus to Darwin. The Ruskies had their tradition of communal steppe-host/horde biology, which I'm less familiar with but which ran through Kropotkin and his views on mutual aid as a factor in evolution. All perspectives apply well in certain situations and are hot garbage in other contexts. Western scientists will tell you that race has no biological basis, which is obviously retarded because it's centred on inherited, visually observable physical characteristics. We can pretend we're better than all that, or we can climb a bit above our culture by recognising that W*stuloids (Westuloids) have a bunch of political-cultural junk floating around in their brains, like thrown away takeaway cups in an otherwise limpid puddle. We can also recognise that the real core of culture is what happens when you peel back that outer layer. What the rationalisation mechanisms are for people spouting obvious crap. I highly doubt L-ko believed his own bullshit, but what enabled and caused everyone involved to say all that stupid shit?
