Amen: drugs and sex, etc., are problems that folks can work out among themselves. They don't need a cop and a judge. Drug abuse is purely a medical issue. And sex, well, I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with that. But those issues can be dealt with at home or church or whatever other way you want to oppress/rehab yourself.

Everything you see around you is the work of genetics acting upon the environment. The human species isn't an assortment of people, it's an assortment of genes....and there most certainly ARE "poverty" genes. I see them walking around every day, all day long.

I must admit, this sounds creepy in a "holocaust"/"genetic cleansing" kind of way.

I think I see the point. It just conflicts with "free will" in my head, somehow. I don't feel like my decisions are made just because my genes gave me a brain to make them with. Although, when I try to think about this, I don't feel like my genes gave me an adequate brain to think with. Also, that was quite a tasteless joke, but posting as an AC cancelled out the "you got guts" part of the dare.

Except TFA says a return to nature would NOT entail being primal dicks to one another but perhaps a instead being a herd of hippies, more or less. Bonobos monkeys. Us being dicks is anything but primal. It's indicative of mental, emotional, societal, or even physical disease that is incongruent and unsustainable given our "nature"...at least, that's how I very liberally interpreted this.
