64. The myth of the "survival of the fittest" must die in order to have a better society.
Edited on Fri Sep-02-11 01:09 PM by Lost-in-FL
Teaching evolution at an early age is a great way to tackle myths like "the strongest survives" that currently corrupts society. Debunking this myth even before a child goes to school will teach kids to treat each other humanly. Darwin never said a word about "survival of the fittest" and this is totally wrong. The myth has been responsible for the lack of empathy for the poor in our society and giving Wall St a free ticket to take care only of their own. This is why I believe children should be taught early about evolution.
