I do not agree with the methodology used here. As an example, Karl Marx. His misguided nonsense may have inspired generations of evil criminals who were responsible for well over a hundred of million of deaths, but was he truly evil? We are told that he was an alcoholic malcontent and treated his family and associates badly. He observed people living in poor conditions and espoused a philosophy that he thought would improve their lives.
Marx was dead long before the negative consequences of his work really came to fruition. The criminal element who used his work as an excuse to grab power for themselves may have been able to go with some other nonsense with equal zeal. Mohammed by most accounts seems to have been a much more evil character in life and his followers seem determined to overtake the death toll of Marx’s followers. The primary obstacle for them seems to be that the followers of Mohammed seem to be genetically predisposed to have a lower IQ these days than what they apparently had in previous times.
Recently a 90 year old Swede was fined for “hate speech” for speculating that this apparent decline may have been the result of inbreeding. I am not sure if that is the case or their gene pool originally came from areas where murderous idiots had a higher survival rate than intelligent people.
Agreed. Marx was not particularly evil, and the notion posted upstream that Darwin was evil is ridiculous.
