Perhaps there is some resurgence of social Darwinism in these circles.

Impatient people always want to create short cuts - 'We're all going to die, so lets get there quicker by killing everybody now!' The patient aren't such pessimists and never jump the gun (productionism/ growth i.e. letting things be versus reductionism/ destruction i.e. interference patterns). It's easier to kill (stop things now) than have the patience (courage) to just stand and await developments: The former is the political answer - the latter, science (study and learn from versus eradicate and remain ignorant of, the existence of).
Positivism builds (religion/art/healing), negativity destroys (politics) and neutrality observes, and learns the truth (science/philosophy).


Long live logic! (versus short lived irrationality
