Degenerate

According to the theory of degeneration, a host of individual and social pathologies in a finite network of diseases, disorders and moral habits could be explained by a biologically based affliction. The primary symptoms of the affliction were thought to be a weakening of the vital forces and will power of its victim. In this way, a wide range of social and medical deviations, including crime, violence, alcoholism, prostitution, gambling, and pornography, could be explained by reference to a biological defect within the individual. The theory of degeneration was therefore predicated on evolutionary theory. The forces of degeneration opposed those of evolution, and those afflicted with degeneration were thought to represent a return to an earlier evolutionary stage. This can be seen socially when mixed race marriages started becoming more frequent as the 19th century progressed. Such mixed marriages, all but unthinkable in 1848 but now on the rise among Indo-European and even full-blood

Paul Urlick who made lots of many with his book The Population Bomb is still at spreading his fear that people are the problem. That might be partly true but not for the reason he claims.

The problem is not quantity of people but the quality of people. What social practices or political policies have been known to degenerate people individually and as nations for thousands of years? Why are people today in such uniform denial of this basic truth evident throughout the history of mankind? What are the basic changes easily pursued and embraced individually and as communities that would reverse the elements that creep into what had been historically recognized as successful societies and civilizations? What has historically ushered in that internal degeneration and self destruction people could not see at the time but has been observed before those nations and cultures went through their own decline and fall?

What feeds the Machiavellian nature in men but positions of power and many weak and vulnerable people.

The same is true of Psychopathy common when parasitical predators mingle unchecked in societies where callousness and a lack of empathy and covetous of what is others has become acceptable culturally. Narcissism followed by a descent into Sadism will become common within society with few ca pp able of countering or even recognizing it's presence eve the victims of it. In fact being a victim will become a desired status and even a badge of pride.
