I can see where a political philosophy based on the theory of evolution would have no motive to consider human life sacred above any other.

How do you base a political philosophy on the theory of evolution? That would be essentially the same as basing a policical philosophy on Bernoulli's principle or on Maxwell's equations.

I'd like to see a superstring society developed into a workable system of government...

Thank you for your post!

I wouldn't know. I was agreeing with the poster's observation in saying that such a thing would have a nasty result --- IMHO, particularly in the area of human rights.

But I imagine a political philosophy based on Maxwell's equations would leave human rights in a quandary as well.

Easy. You take a little eugenics, a little racism, a little survival of the fittest and you have Nazism.
