Cuckoldcube posted some entirely wrong thesis about what the right and left is, so I had to post the real thing:

All that exists in reality is natural selection and evolution, which gives no shits about your political opinion.

An opposing view:

Here is a very short little video clip that describes the fundamental difference between the right and the left. I highly recommend watching it.

r0ach's bolded core assumption above is false. However, to show that requires a fairly deep philosophical discussion.

Briefly and borrowing the words of Bruce Charlton who is more articulate on this topic then I am.

"Most mainstream metaphysical assumptions are incoherent wrt. epistemology. As examples:

If natural selection is assumed metaphysically true, as the only and sufficient explanation of Man; then human reason must be a product of natural selection; which means that human reason can never know anything (because natural selection is about differential fitness, not about truth).

If it is assumed that the universe is assumed to be a combination of randomness and determinism; then we personally could never know this - because we personally would be a combination of randomness and determinism and could never know anything. The universe might actually Be random/ determined - but if so, we personally could never know that."

A more detailed analysis of this point for those interested in this topic can be found here:
