Gert Korthof's personal blog at wasdarwinwrong.com covers science and philosophy. Since 2013, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread on human embryo editing for a page that one commenter describes as a philosophical position on evolution, not evidence. The site appears to argue against Darwinian orthodoxy.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
This site aims at the third evolutionary synthesis. Was Darwin Wrong? Contains many book reviews.
What Hacker News says?
It seems to be a philosophical position more than anything: http://wasdarwinwrong.com/korthof97.htm I would guess it is wrong; we are on a track where genetic manipulation to treat blatant defects will (relatively shortly) be cheaper than the traditional medical treatments.
