Even the emotionally satisfying appeal for a common purpose, however excellent, is an appeal to abandon all rival moral opinions and the cross-criticism and arguments to which they give rise. It is an appeal o abandon rational thought.

The evolutionist who demands the ´scientific´ control of human nature does not realize how suicidal this demand is. The mainspring of evolution and progress is the variety of the material which may become subject to selection. So far as human evolution is concerned it is the ´freedom to be odd an unlike one´s neighbour´ - ´disagree with the majority, and go one´s own way´. Holistic control, which must lead to the equalization not of human rights but of human minds, would mean the end of progress.
- Karl Popper
