Why I am not a paleolibertarian
I don't need to write a whole book on this topic. Just read
this from
Lewrockwell.com.
Here's a particularly moronic quote:
How this would happen I'm not exactly sure. But if evolutionary theorists tell us that a substantial amount of our genes, under environmental pressure, can change simultaneously and almost instantaneously to morph one species into another, without the slightest bit of proof, then I see no problem with a woman giving birth to a Dandelion Baby. And the idea that these kinds of changes happened billions of times over hundreds of millions of years – sure, why not? It's not as if scientists are some kind of religious fundamentalists who have political agendas, right?
The basic ploy here is to assume that
Punctuated Equilibria has disproven "Darwinism" and than to lambast and satirize the former theory-especially its tendency toward
Saltationism (though I suspect that most partisans of Eldridge and Gould's theory would reject the label of Saltationists). What would Mises have thought of these "followers" of his???
