- Roger Devlin has given a tremendous review of Dr Edward Dutton’s latest book, Spiteful Mutations: Evolution, Sexuality, Politics and Religion in the 21st Century (2022). The case seems to be made, using the examples of religion and sex, that maladaptive mutations resulting in a genetic load, causes the Leftist to make otherwise genetically healthy people to behave in unhealthy ways. This seems plausible with many aspects of the woke agenda such as sex and race, the trans agenda being of particular interest. The Left have moved to normalise such behaviour, and to deconstruct the categories of sex, male and female, that have been accepted in all societies throughout history. So, something deep is going on, and Dutton thinks that there is a biological basis to this decline and fall. If not, there is certainly adequate political explanations of what is happening. Anyway, I like the idea that the Left are primarily a product of genetic loads, if I have got that right. They are literally, diseased.
