Re: Materialism = Evolution
This is evident in what society deems as "success", to gain money, as many things as possible before you die. The rich, the successful, are better able to survive, to live even in luxury because of materialism.
​
Are you saying that this form of materialism came about because of evolution? That it never existed before? This is a remarkable statement. Please support it.

Survival of the Fittest is a key part in the evolutionary scheme. Natural Selection. In human society, one who is materialist is better at surviving, evolution therefore promotes materialism.
​
Apparently, I need to repeat my question. Are you saying that evolution is the cause for 'materialism' as you define it? And, does that mean that the 'survival of the fittest' concept only arose after evolution?
