Richard Dawkins, Mental Health, and Eugenics w/ M.K. Anderson

from Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael · host J.G.

On this edition of Parallax Views, a previously unpublished conversation w/ writer M.K. Anderson on her Protean Magazine piece "On Eugenics, Richard Dawkins Offers Nothing But Sophistry". M.K. fills us in on how, just a few short months ago, Dawkins claimed that, while it was ok to oppose eugenics on "ideological, political, and moral grounds" that it would "work" for humans. M.K. says this is incorrect and that Dawkins ignores that historically eugenics has always been a  politically motivated and that the alleged science on it doesn't add up. In addition to this M.K. also discusses issues related to the mental health system in America and how it relates to these matters as well as sharing her personal thoughts on debates had amongst the political left today. All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views. SUPPORT PARALLAX VIEWS ON PATREON! FOR BONUS CONTENT AND ARCHIVED EPISODES!
