re: “the strongest and the fittest are the ones who have the moral imperative to survive and the weak, well, if they get in the way of the “strongest and the fittest”, well then, why not simply remove the “useless eaters”. They are a drag on the state and the healthy.”

Borges: “That has nothing to do with Darwin.”

How so? Does survival of the fittest not relate to human beings? Aren’t human beings simply another form of animal according to Darwinist naturalism?

Darwin says the weakest will NATURALLY get weeded out over time. And the way you really find out they’re the weakest is because they get weeded out. Once you start on the path of eugenics you’re no longer allowing a natural process, you’re weeding out what you THINK are the weakest but you could be wrong.

The term ‘Survival of the Fittest’ was coined by the British philosopher Herbert Spencer before Darwin published his own views on the matter. Darwin’s thesis that species who are not equipped to survive in a given climate will eventually die out and those who survive will necessarily be the best equipped...is the simple truth.
