That’s leftism in a nutshell. An evolutionary fallacy: “new” is always better.

The Evolutionary Fallacy

In my lifetime, the things that have gotten noticeably better are dentistry and chess notation. A lot of other things have gotten hideously worse. You should see what they’ve done to my home town. And look what they’re doing to our country.

‘Please Tell Me They Were Kidding…’ (2018)

How do they get them so stupid?

It’s the same old delusion: the perfectibility of man, achieved by Government and Science exercising total control over other people’s lives–every aspect of them.

Please Tell Me They Were Kidding…

So we have this speech from 1997 by Rob “Meat-Head” Reiner, proclaiming that there will be no more “criminal brains” if Government and Science completely take over the business of child-rearing from the moment the baby somehow manages to slip past the abortionist. Now it’s 24 years later (!), and they’re working day and night to make it a reality.

Has he ever thought about what a mess his own brain is?
