Evolutionary Humanism, Eugenics and UNESCO
UNESCO Its Purpose and Its Philosophy

As the first Director of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation), Sir Julian Sorell Huxley (1887-1975) wrote a paper entitled UNESCO Its Purpose and Its Philosophy (1946) [1] in which he outlined his vision for the newly created international organisation (which grew out of the League of Nations' Institute of Intellectual Co-operation). According to Huxley, the guiding philosophy of UNESCO should be what he termed, World Evolutionary Humanism. The following article describes this philosophy and its relation to eugenics.

Julian Huxley, an evolutionary biologist, humanist, and ardent internationalist held many titles including: Secretary of the Zoological Society of London (1935-42), first president of the British Humanist Association (1963), Vice-President (1937-44) and President (1959-62) of the British Eugenics Society. He was also a founding member of the World Wild Life Fund, coined the term "transhumanism" (as a means of disguising eugenics) and gave two Galton memorial lectures (1936, 1962). Huxley also received many awards including the Darwin Medal of the Royal Society (1956), UNESCO's Kalinga Prize (1953) and the Special Award of the Lasker Foundation in the category Planned Parenthood - World Population (1959) to name but a few. He is also the Grandson of Thomas Huxley (Darwin's Bulldog) and brother of author Aldous Huxley.

  • The world is managed by a blotch on everything.These scientific elites who would remove the organic from humanity are the biggest threat to the planet.

    It was there idea to increase polltion to make humankind the enemy.Its psychosis and the status quo thats all.What they want humans to be are no longer humans.Equality requires the state to hold down anyone who can do more,thus suppressing and shutting down evolution and removing humanity from life making him a pathetic lost freak with no place.

  • @Cyborus As am I!!! Truly some astounding possibilities.

  • frightening..

  • Great video.

    Biological progress could be accelerated by integrating technology into the process. It's an exciting time for eugenics, I am glad to see a video supporting it.

  • Actually it's "They ARE retarded".

    As any intelligent person knows.

    ;)

  • Christianity is for the Jews.

    What about it?

  • Christianity is for the Jews.

  • If these Eugenesists were actually doing good my school would be crap. The education system is all kinds of fail. These battimen are inhibit people from developing their full genetic potential and are therefore contradicting their own aims. they is retards.

  • a secular humanist said this to me:

    Read what you say, FIRST YOU PRETEND TO BE A CHRISTIAN, THEN YOU GET ANGRY WHEN EXPOSED, you are a liar.

    You call me racist when ISLAM IS NOT A RACE, YOU STUOID PEDOPHILE WORSHIPER! GO TO SEE A MENTAL HOSPITAL!

    YOUA RE SICK AND PATHETIC!

    Sure

    Also, Atheism is a complete bunch of balonie. Atheism is only popular for now as technology arises Christianity will rise once again, slowly but gradually what made Atheism popular (Science) will destroy it.

  • why do people always think that you always need pain for gain, while much more gain could be achieved in more moral ways too. it only takes a bit of thinking, and less of following, got some of my own
