EVOLUTIONARY RAPIDITY UNDER PATERNALISM AND PRIVATE PROPERTY

Because evolution has apparently accelerated under agrarianism and property rights, I am slowly beginning to think that I can make the case that evolution is faster under paternalism and property rights than under maternalism and communism. So not only is maternalism dysgenic, but it prevents adaptation? Not only are paternalism and property rights eugenic, but accelerates adaptation despite the fact that we are no longer under environmental selection pressures?

That’s a pretty interesting moral argument against matrilinealism: that it’s not only dysgenic, but maladaptive. Which would certainly explain its absence.

I keep finding correlations between property and genetics. I don’t mean to find them. They just happen to be there.

This correlates with the book I read this weekend: Butler Schaffer’s Boundaries of Order. I really don’t like the soft structure of his argument by analogy – which I object to almost always – but it is apparently the case that property is necessary for evolutionary competition.
