Academic Darwinism

Survival of the fittest, academically speaking. Differential scholastic success. Academic Darwinism encompasses the undertaking of doing of whatever it takes to ensure pedagogic success.

Collegiate Darwinism

A theory posed by a Penn State student, contending that "survival of the fittest" applies to the social life of college students.

Collegiate Darwinism: 3-5 friends go on a road trip to a college where they have no friends. Everyone must find a bed. House parties, bars & late night pizza joints are recommended places to find a bedmate. As the night progresses, friends will see that the strongest survive, no matter what it takes. Those that sleep with fat chicks or ugly guys (girls is pimps too) should be congradulated for finding a bed, not admonished for lowering any standards. Meet up at a diner the next morning to tell your stories. Compare strategies, learn from your mistakes, and go to a different school and try it again.

darwinism

A pejorative term used by proponents of creationistic intelligent design in an attempt to undermine modern evolution.

Often used to refer to things far outside the purview of Darwin's theory of evolution, which relied solely on natural selection as the mechanism for change.

Darwinism can't explain the bacterial flagellum, but intelligent design can!

Social Darwinism

The delusion that predatory, parasitic and anti-social behavior is a superior evolutionary adaptive strategy in all situations for all species. No relation to Charles Darwin, evolutionary biology or any scientific field. The delusion is directly contradicted by all scientific evidence. See Sociobiology or evolutionary biology.

A pseudo-philosophical rationalization for atavistic and degenerate behaviors among bastardized Protestant extremist sects. No association with Charles Darwin or any scientific field.

When the senile coal company executive was confronted by a youth for destroying the world he rambled incoherently about Social Darwinism and called the youth a damned socialist terrorist.
