Billy's all excited about John West's book Darwin Day in America.
It's a book with a trailer, so you just know it has a solid argument that can stand on its own merits.
As I watched the slideshow of eugenics propaganda from the 20s and 30s, I thought to myself "It's a good thing that religious people from this period didn't have any appalling notions about race, or inflict injury on people different from themselves. Because then black people would really have been f*cked."
My favorite quote from the book's blurb:
| Quote | | Based on extensive research with primary sources and archival materials, John G. West’s captivating Darwin Day in America tells the story of how American politics and culture have been corrupted by scientistic ideology. |
Yeah, scientisticism. It's responsible for all the mess we're in today.
