The Dime ventured into controversy this past week, welcoming historian John Egan to the show. The topic of this week’s show is whether the swine flu pandemic was intentional, and if so, does it arise from a modern eugenic movement? The source of the modern eugenics according to John Egan? Social Darwinism and its ancestors, atheism and Darwinism. The Dime, of course, defended both atheism and Darwinism, by showing how the eugenics movement simply co-opted Darwinism to further their own racist ideas, that predate Darwin himself. This show is a must listen for anyone interested in the long discredited idea of Social Darwinism.
