We share a disdain, Laurent, for Darwin's insufferable superiority. In When Words Die, Worlds Die, I cite Paul Hawkins:
"I want to end with Blessed Unrest again and the Fuegian people, the Yamana, about whom Darwin said, “I believe if the world was searched, no lower grade of man could be found.” A missionary orphan named Thomas Bridges spent 21 years putting 32,000 of their words into a dictionary before he died; Shakespeare used 20,000 distinct words in his entire collection. It has more verbs than English. These describe subtle nuances of everyday life, from marrying someone selfishly or with impure intent to two people looking at each other, hoping the other will do something that neither wants to do. The word for depression is the same as a crab molting its shell. The word yamana itself means the highest form of life, living, being alive. [92] There are now only two yamana speakers, Paul Hawken reports, and they don’t talk to each other."
Instead of salvation through the Divine, transhumanism promises salvation through technology. And its evangelists are just as fanatical as their religious forbears.

And the greatest fiction writers of all time. Ladies and gentlemen I welcome Paul, Matthew, Luke, the psalm singers, and all the other authors paid by the Romans to produce a fireside novel.
