Eat the rich, or perish

(sitting here at 61c, on the verge of completing the program I designed, running a patient this afternoon on it, the sun's waking up with me)

Capitalists are darwinists. They believe that the best and most efficient companies will thrive and multiply whereas the duds disappear from memory. Niche optimization is encouraged-- if the market is saturated with coffee shops on a block, maybe a deli, HR Block, or fashion boutique would find ample interest and monetary resources in the same store space. Stores eat different people; at least, they eat different budgets. Sometimes these resources are in odd places, such as finding a group of students willing to pay 3 dollars to put jimmies on their Cheerios at Cereality. They found a Galapagos island where they rake in tons of scurrying Penn students. Placed on an island with fewer fruits and nuts (woo zing!) Cereality would starve its way to demolition.

This morning dribble is meant to add to the recent onslaught of scientists 'fighting back' to protect the theory of evolution. I'm saying, if you believe in capitalism you believe in evolution. The ID-er's last question is always-- oh yeah, well if evolution exists, name 1 example of it today. Ugh! I think this question's meant to piss off scientists into responding aggressively: Clearly you're void of the ability to discern rational thought from the excrement spewing out your pie-hole. Or an even less helpful I'll-show-you-mine-if-you-show-me-yours: By all means, demonstrate g-d's existence. To accurately answer the question, use an example of any organism with fast reproduction-- take the flu. Still nothing? Try this answer: Capitalism. The free market is the application of natural selection to economics.

If they refuse to believe in evolution, call 'em a commie. :)

I don't pretend to believe that this blog scratches the surface of the humongous topic of where us humans come from. Dawkins tries to in his books, but he leaves huge gaps. Don't hold your breath. A well-written all-encompassing written record with all of the answers would have to be practically the length of the bible. oh wait. oops.
