I couldn't let this comment go unchecked. You seem to ascribe any and all
evil to biological patterns of value. It's crap.

Fascism is as much an intellectual pattern as a social pattern. Nazi germany
was engineered by great minds to be the way it was. Hitler's cells didn't
build concentration camps. The society did, and it did this under the
intellectual guiding force of your oh-so prized individual. From Hitler's
POV he was following intellectual Quality and forcing Society to go with
him.

Hitler was a madman and as concrete an example of Evil as has every existed.
He was also one of the individuals most skilled in Social patterns of value
of our time as well.

I just can't believe you would even imagine such a horrendously bad line of
reasoning.

Get out of the Biological=bad, society=good, intellect=best Idea. It's crap.
A dead-end idea. And idea that limits new ideas. It is a static cage.
