"I've thought about this for a bit and realized that both camps ... are wrong, at least when stated so simply."
Applies to basically every pair of controversial and/or reasonably substantial claims on the web. Obviously the right answer is always "it depends." But I already knew that, having read two opposing viewpoints and synthesized their conclusions.
In summary: C'mon, pick a side!
- mixmax 19y agoSometimes one side is just plainly wrong. The debate about evolution versus Intelligent design is an example.
- dbreunig 19y agoNatural selection is a great example for more than one reason: Darwin wasn't the very first to think it, but Origin of the Species is perhaps the most beautiful science ever written.
- mixmax 19y agoDarwin actually held back Origin species for more than ten years because it clashed with his religious beliefs. He only released it when Alfred Russell Wallace sent him a letter asking him to look through a new theory on evolution, which of course was the exact same one that Darwin had come up with many years before. And yes I agree with you - the implications of this theory are so broad that with a bit of stretching it can probably explain the whole field of psychology. An amazing insight.
