Out of curiosity, how is that possible if you don't believe in truth?  I'm
not asking a rhetorical question.  I've never figured out how, on one hand,
better and worse are simply defined in terms of a given culture, and on the
other some things are better or worse. If you want to talk about evolution,
then, by definition, what survives is evolutionarily favored.  If one were
to look at the present situation from an evolutionary standpoint, the
question would be why Europe is failing, not why the US is backsliding.
