This isn't sociology. Sociology is things like marxism, neo marxism etc. Yes there is the occasional social darwinist in their such as Herbert Spencer. I'm currently studying Leotard who was pessimistic about society and made an impassioned case that sciences self legitimating framework is not valid and that real truth exists in works of art.
Or Weber who believed that societies disattachment from ideas of magic and move toward logic creates an iron cage or logic that can create negativity. Or the endless range of neo marxism such as Adorno, Foucalt etc. Who usually criticise society helplessly raging against peoples apparent lack of motivation.
Also, I don't draw the same conclusions as you about this text. For instance, I once did a piece of work on the Israeli Gaza war/ massacre. I couldn't be stating obvious moral truths every other sentence. And I've done work on financial globalisation, clearly and simply stating how the west deadlocks African countries into poverty, I may be using confessions of an economic hitman in my next essay. Although I don't take his point on physical evolution, because cultures don't take over each other in nature, herbivor cultures work well together and animals fight over territory but don't invade other in groups. Aside from killing for food which we do in far more inhumane ways than animals do.
For STS philosophers, I'm thinking Thomas Hobbs and Herbert Spencer.
