The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
darwin's theory of natural selection was partly influenced by malthus's opposition to the poor laws

quote:

The year was 1838. In England, the Industrial Revolution was under way, but it had made rich only the owners of production, not the workers. In increasingly crowded cities, ordinary people struggled for their daily existence. Some of the poor rioted. The Poor Laws were under attack: Welfare to the needy would only increase their dependence and encourage the breeding of still more hungry mouths to feed, said critics. It was in this pivotal year that Darwin, back from his voyage on the Beagle and trying to understand the forces that drove the origin of new species, read the works of Thomas Malthus, a parson and social economist.

In opposition to the utopian thinkers of the day, Malthus believed that unless people exercised restraint in the number of children they had, the inevitable shortfall of food in the face of spiraling population growth would doom mankind to a ceaseless struggle for existence. Out of that unforgiving battle, some would survive and many would not, as famine, disease, and war put a ceiling on the growth in population.

These ideas galvanized Darwin's thinking about the struggles for survival in the wild, where restraint is unknown. Before reading Malthus, Darwin had thought that living things reproduced just enough individuals to keep populations stable. But now he came to realize that, as in human society, populations bred beyond their means, leaving survivors and losers in the effort to exist.

yeah, gardner dethroning karelin was some poo poo. karelin lifting a dude on a poster was hung in many a wrestling room even in iowa where i learned the sport. I wonder what gardner got up to since he almost died some years ago in the wilderness

I remember a ton of people getting mad when their high deductible plans got cancelled for having too low of a actuarial value. "I don't need doctor's visits covered, I just want to know that if I get cancer it will be covered!" "But it won't be covered, that's why the actuarial value is so low." "I just like the peace of mind it brings!"

God keeping alive this stupid-rear end system was a terrible idea.
