Show Our Civilization Has Made It Possible for the Weaklings to Survive By ALBERT E. WIGGAM, in New York World. Modern society is immoral, and about the most immoral thing about it is its morality. It is a question whether the miraculous achievements of modern science in combating disease are resulting in race improvement or in Tace deterioration. As a matter of fact this is not a scientific age. Although modern science has made a scientific civilization possible, in our collective management manage-ment of human life we are guided not by scientific knowledge, but by blind superstition. There is no scientific basis for the belief that human society is evolving evolv-ing into & better state. Society is not an organism and cannot evolve. Man is evolving, but he may have to go back to savagery in order to continue his evolution. Savagery produced great men. It weeded out the unfit and only the greatest survived. It was in the jungle that man developed those qualities of leadership which made it possible for him to establish civilization. But our civilization has made it possible for the weakling; to survive. Eventually it tended to destroy leadership. We transferred authority tr the weak and unintelligent and called the deal democracy. |
