Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
He uses Kuhn, Einstein, Darwin, and Disraeli to argue that paradigm change is not merely natural but can be promoted when it advances the eschatology of secret societies.
Darwin is framed as a scientist promoted because his findings supported the anti-spiritual philosophy already in place, not simply because science settled the matter.
Jiang argues Darwinian evolution does not explain human intellect or imagination and that even asking this question is discouraged.
Jiang argues that Darwinian evolution, once detached from divine design, was extrapolated by nineteenth-century elites into systemic racism and claims of European superiority.
Jiang summarizes evolutionary biology's model as the claim that humans are biological animals motivated by spreading genes and reproductive strategy.
