... just as a starting point, there is much more material explaining it in details. Smiley

Well, I'm fairly aware of the material, but hadn't paid much attention to it, as I did watching this video. I don't see how this answers any of the questions.

Not only that, it presents the BPS model as natural law, moreover in normative manner, which I had already criticized as dangerous and thought we agreed on. This is not even tangential to scientific reasoning, don't you think? So because we believe the evolutionary model is true, would it mean that we have to eliminate the weak? It's the same kind of fallacy. The fact that it's politically appealing shouldn't make us less skeptical.

And no scientific evidence backing up the societal model and no transition plan? Sorry but there is nothing else I can offer other than repeating the questions and criticisms others have already posted.
