Interesting that you ended the last one, "gave me much to ponder as I continue to develop my argument for Darwinian liberalism."<br /><br />The blog is, of course, called Darwinian Conservatism. In American political battles, people who call themselves conservatives and people who call themselves liberals are often considered to be enemies. But Darwinian conservatism and Darwinian liberalism seem to be the same thing!<br /><br />I'd be interested to know what you think is liberal about Darwinian liberalism/conservatism and what you think is conservative about Darwinian liberalism/conservatism.

Communism was thrown off after 50 years due to its clear negative consequences. But religion has lasted for thousands. You would think a Darwinian would conclude that it must be doing something valuable to explain why it is kept around. My own view is that religion makes civilization possible; it gives the only answer to the question of why it is better to live morally than immorally; it prevents the defectors from overwhelming the cooperators.
