    something for the Dawkins lovers: his endorsement of that ultra-rightist racist hate-mongering bigot: Geert Wilders: A Victory For Common Sense

    Gamelanstep & the sucking trumpet

    so you used "Gamelan Step" as a stand-in phrase for absurdly pretentious and farcically rubbish music in general, without knowing that 21st century interpretations of this incredibly rich musical tradition are actually not only valid, but IMO presents a crucial path of enquiry?

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    Many post-agricultural revolution cultures you mean. Which are of course DRASTICALLY different from pre-agricultural ones. a problem that probably did not arise for most of human prehistory, but only relatively recently. sure, gradual, very slow and gradual. There are lots of evidence of...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    More and more scientific studies are showing that many notions we hold about our "inherent nature" is actually conditioning of the social systems we have been living in. Evolution does not favour selfish people, according to new research

    What's your favourite album ever?

    sick jokes aside. off the top, and "album" is such a restrictive consumerist unit, "major musical works" is better: Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Schubert - Complete Music for Four Hands Steve Lacy - Windows Howlin Wolf - Moanin' in the Moonlight Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street Langen...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    it is impossible, but we still must try not to project our sexuality as conditioned by our environment onto those whose lives are organized in DRASTICALLY different ways. Abstinence after a newborn for periods of up to 1 year is common, and so is infanticide, as ways to control population...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    No, tactics to keep poplulation size down are common with studies of pre-modern life styles. And the Dobe is not just 1 tiny group, but the most studied group in the history of Anthropology. You are denying that pre-agricultural people had culture of any kind?? You think their...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    i am speaking of the entire history of Homo Sapiens. The period of several million years is from the emergence of Homo Sapiens as the dominant Hominid species on earth (which some speculate may have involved genocide), and the advent of Agriculture/large scale societies/war. If you don't...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    right, i realize a lot more needs to be said about my brash statement, and it's more complex than that, but i just wanted to get the main point across: when people are not in pain, they are generally nice to each other. and absolutely right with your last part... i do not mean all "damaged"...

    Worst Mistake Never Made

    you are forgetting 1 important element: culture. in the band-level (<100 members) lifestyle of the nomadic gatherer-hunters, 2 of their fundamental rules are 1. keep population size down (by not murder, but abstinence after a birth) and 2. no surplus: you eat what you can, and never carry...
