They say that the darkest gloom clouds sometimes have a silver lining, and that April showers bring May flowers.
In the case of science and technology, it sometimes turns out that a project which utterly fails in its original intent or application, is useful for something else.
If evolution cannot rationally be viewed as a way to get from ape-like creatures to man, then cannot the use of evolutionism as an ideological belief system get us from man to an ape-like creature? Such a capability would be of enormous value in politics and a number of other fields in which IQ reduction is known to be a positive advantage, but in which drugs, alcohol, and the normal means of achieving this are increasingly in disfavor for social and political reasons.
The following testimonial pretty much sums it all up.

Marty Z. Renfield writes: "I'd tried everything; drugs, narcotics, weeklong drinking bouts; I'd listened to rap music at ear-splitting levels for days on end; I'd taken all of the yuppie science courses at our local community college, and I'd worked for years at becoming both politically and scientifically correct, but nothing helped. Nothing I could think of or do was making me STUPID enough to get that big government grant. As you can see in the before picture, I had achieved some noticable results, but I just wasn't where I needed to be.
The after picture shows me today, after the brain-deadening effects of the talk.origins Ediacara propaganda/indoctrination program on the internet. This program has turned my whole life around. I now drive a BMW and can take my pick of government grants and research projects.
