Whiskey, so many , even here at BC can’t handle the truth of the situation we are in currently.

You speak with a boldness and veracity that no doubt actually frightens some; but it is the truth

Keep poundiing the keyboad and preparing for what is coming … for as you know, it is coming and Herbert Spencer will be proved once again, stating his phrase:

“Survival of the fittest” is a phrase which is commonly used in contexts other than intended by its first two proponents: British polymath philosopher Herbert Spencer ( who coined the term ) and Charles Darwin.

Herbert Spencer first used the phrase – after reading Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species – in his Principles of Biology (1864), in which he drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin’s biological ones, writing “This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called ‘natural selection’, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life.”

Darwin first used Spencer’s new phrase “survival of the fittest” as a synonym for “natural selection” in the fifth edition of On the Origin of Species, published in 1869.
