  • I can not understand how people can be social darwinist and still support inheritance, even tax free inheritance. If you want just the fittest to survive, everyone needs to start the same.

You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
