Free Market Capitalism, a form of Social Darwinism predicated on the ability to obtain capital, wherein companies and corporations compete in a Darwinian market that favors whatever is best for business.
In theory Capitalism (Economic Darwinism) is supposed to be regulated by the consumer, but most consumers are lazy and apathetic and the majority of them are probably idiots, as evidenced by the survival of Electronic Arts and the success of the Twilight Saga.

phenomenon in which greater input of effort, money, etc. yields smaller results. Crucial part of the idea is that if you're using x to get y results (where y is the thing you want). then additional input a will yield additional results b, but not in the same proportion as before.
On average, before, you put in x to get y, so your yield was y/x. But if you increase x by amount a, then your results will be y + b, where
(y + b)/(x + a) < y/x
and this will only get worse.
Diminishing marginal returns (DMR) is used to explain why the supply curve in economics slopes upward, i.e., increasing the quantity supplied requires an increased price of most things.
Sometimes DMR is more than offset by "economies of scale," which allows more of a thing to be supplied more cheaply than a small amount.

Get the diminishing marginal returns mug.The more porn you watch, the more hardcore the porn has to be for you to get an erection and to finish. For example, if you watch porn sporadically regular straight porn will do the trick. However, if you're a Giesel and masturbate 13+ times a day it will take some seriously hardcore bukkake or brazilian fart porn to get you off.
Palmer: Dude, last night Lesnick was locked in his room for like twelve hours straight masturbating. You know he had to be wanking to 2 girls 1 cup or some beastiality incest or something.

Get the Giesel's Law of Diminishing Returns mug.First used by Thomas Henry Huxley in a review of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in the April 1860 issue of Westminster Review, it has since become a term used by creationists to poison the well when discussing (attempting to discredit) the theory of evolution. By adding the -ism, they imply a system of beliefs or an ideology, hypocritically equating Darwinism to any other crackpot idea.
Calling someone a "Darwinist" or "evolutionist" is about as ridiculous as calling someone who accepts the fact of gravity a "gravitationalist," or someone who believes the earth is spherical a "sphericist."
Darwinism is wrongly thought by many fundamentalists to be the "religion" of atheists. It's true that most atheists accept Darwin's theory, but that fact is irrelevant to their nonbelief in a deity. They simply see no reason to reject something that's obviously true (i.e., it doesn't contradict some other belief that they refuse to give up).

Darwinism isn't a belief system or an ideology. A person who accepts Darwin's theory (after 150+ years and mountains of evidence in its favor) is merely non-delusional.
