Arguing Against the State is like Playing Chess with a Pigeon – Lost Republic
The original quote, by Scott D. Weitzenhoffer states:
“Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.
The pro-creationist reviewers of this book clearly demonstrate this to be true.”
regarding Eugenie Scotts’ book Evolution Vs Creationism: An introduction.
Thanks for the comment! I actually think it’s more apt in describing statists, however, because unlike creationists, statists of the Marxist persuasion (or academics who cut their teeth on Foucault) disregard even the existence of truth. According to them, every attempt at truth is just ideology formed by the material conditions of your class.
