Raoul's Thursday post

Today's analysis of Dostoyevsky in my opinion has been the most interesting discussions thus far. In class today we discussed one of societies biggest problems. Societies' inability to let go of the weak and get rid of the unproductive that leach off of the rest of society, has eliminated the factors that allow for evolution. In fact, I believe that this inability to let go, has created a process of de-evolution. I believe this because the unproductive are those who reproduce the most. However, when we come to the state of having to eliminate our selves or our loved ones we cannot. Any way, I find it interesting that Dostoyevsky was able to think of these ideas of evolution before Darwin created the formal definition of evolution.
