As the neo-Darwinist house of cards collapses…
What Darwin Got Wrong: Brainwash Done Right

I linked to this already today, but here’s the last paragraph.
What happens next as the neo-Darwinist house of cards collapses and the turnaround in evolutionary science proceeds with the circle drawn wider and wider to include more of the public? “The Jerry Coyne crowd will just fade into the background,” one evolutionary scientist whispered to me. . .
What happens next in my unhumble opinion is that we don’t get anymore hard paradigms.
I recommend, if you think a new paradigm like Darwinism is imminent, a look at the eonic effect: http://history-and-evolution.com, to see the real complexity of evolutionary theories.
One bottom line (speculation): any professional group that allowed Darwinism to go on as long as this is too stupid to solve the evolution question. They need a long time out, and some further evolution, I guesss, before this dumpkoft scientism proposed by all the ‘smartest’ geeks is seen for what it is.
Since the issue is not science but the power of propaganda and the social control of thought by dominating elites, there is always the high probability another fake paradigm will appear and become dominant.
But I think that something simpler is needed: a paradigm, not of theory, but of the simple chronicle of evolution.

Massimo Pigliucci says that new Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES), may come into fruition over the next decade or so:
“Do we need an extended evolutionary synthesis?”, Evolution 61-12: 2743–2749.
