The theory of evolution is the inverse of the naturalistic fallacy: it is an attempt by mankind to justify its egoism, greed and lust as "natural." At the same time, it allows mankind a magic escape from "blind" nature by virtue of some property that only it possesses. Mere egoism.

Glad you like these!

Here's a favorite from Waton:

But in the realm of life, modern science accomplished nothing. Biology—this is the science of life. What shall be said about a biology that does not know what life is? And this is the biology of the Aryans? Study the thousands of books that were written on biology by the Aryans, and in all of them you will not find a single statement as to what life itself is. For instance, Spencer defines life to be a continuous adjustment of inner relations to outer relations. Is this a definition of life? This only tells us of a function of life, but what is life itself that makes this adjustment? Spencer himself admits that he does not know. And in all cases in which the Aryans come to the ultimate aspects of existence, they draw down the curtain on which is written: The Thing in Itself, Nihil Ulterius, The Unknowable. And ask no further questions. Now, the basis of the nazi philosophy is the blood theory, and we already saw that the nazis do not know what blood is, and they know absolutely nothing about life itself. What is life? We already saw that the Bible knew what life is. Life is what the Bible calls nephesh, it is the soul in its implicit state. Life is the Absolute, it is the cause of itself, it is the substance of all realities, and all infinite existence is a living reality.

He has a sterling analysis of Herbert Spencer, if you're interested.

That is meaningless word salad from Waton. You learned a lot from him.
 
Ooh, ooh, life is The Thing in Itself, it’s, it’s … oh, golly, it’s Nihil Ulterius! In italics, no less. Wow, so impressive. It’s The Unknowable! Here that, scientists? Life is The Unknowable. So stop trying to figure shit out!

Your reading comprehension is deficient. He's saying that it is scientists who declare that the nature of life is unknowable, and that it is the Bible that declares that the nature of life is knowable.

And if that is what this guy is saying, he’s obviously dead wrong. Scientists do not declare that the “nature of life” is unknowable; quite to the contrary, since Darwin came along, they’ve been quite busy and quite successful in figuring out what life is and how it came to be — great strides are being made in abiogenesis, though we may never know for sure how life began. But we’re definitely on the scent of it.

The Bible gives us zero knowledge about anything at all. Life? A Magic Sky Fairy poofed it into existence! That’s your stupid Bible.
 
And, btw, your quoted passage does NOT say that “scientists” declare that the nature of life is unknowable. According to him it is the “Aryans,” whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.
 
Aryan in one context was a mythical race created by Nazis to support the idea of German racial superiority.

If I hear the term outside of an academic context I assume it is is connected to white supremacy nonsense.

The Aryan Brotherhood. Neo Nazis.

My first question is, assuming for the sake of argument that it is unknowable, how does he know??

Erm, it is Dawkins who uses the word in the article. Better let him know.

You know what Dawkins also says? In The Selfish Gene, he says he would not want a society based on selfishness. But all you do is cherry pick shit and you don't give a fuck about logic.

This is correct. No Robots is just parroting the tired old Naturalistic Fallacy.
 
I just wanna know more about these 'supermen' with 'fully developed intellects', cause it sounds dope.

1. How do you know when you are one?
2. Would your mum know?
3. If you are one, can you refer to yourself as 'a very stable genius'?
4. Is it possible to get so smart that you actually stump yourself?
5. What if you are one, but are married to, or partnered with, excuse the expression, a dumbbell?
6. Can you be one and still watch Zoolander and eat gummy worms?
7. What if you are one and the other meanies on earth or iidb don't appreciate you?
8. Can you be one and still appreciate Who Let the Dogs Out? (and even answer the question posed by the song?)
9. If you are one, should you be able to out-Mozart Mozart, i.e., write sonatas while you're still in a onesie?
10. Will common folk understand what you're saying, if you are one?
11. What can you do at the beach, if some big meanie in a wife-beater t-shirt knocks your copy of Waton outta your hands???
