evolution would have that we’re getting better

incrementally, to be sure, but improving

affirming said fact through countless iterations

despite a sample size of statistical insignificance

we are certainly, on average

healthier

wealthier

but the evidence doesn’t bear out the claim

for we are certainly, on average

no wiser

to consider “merciful” murders of self-concern

we are not constantly improving

who cling relentless to our hate

we show instead our wicked soul
