Out of my depth? that's lovely.

You sir, are trying to tie your understanding of science to your understanding of the one true way that an economy and a society can be run.

I, sir, am trying to point out that using science - and specifically genetics and biology - to make a case for your political views is flawed at best and downright dangerous at worst. It's been tried many times, by many shades of political opinion, rarely to any good end.

...And Matt Ridley is an idiot because he and his political/economic theories and mismanagement caused the massive collapse of a major financial institution in one of the largest economies on the planet. Bravo that man. Spectacularly good job.
